Forever Isn'T Always Forever
I walk.
I walk to our spot we always came to together
Through the woods at the spot the sun lights up the most
The big rock we would always lay on and have pic-nics
I hear the leaves crunch beneath my feet as I walk further
Its been many years
I remember it like it was yesterday
Us two crazy-in-love teenagers
It was the best day ever
You had your arms around my waist and you made my favorite cookies
Double chocolate chip and peanut-butter
You told me you loved me and wanted us to be together forever
we walked around after we got through eating and found an old tree
I look at it
They are still there
you carved our names with a heart and the words “together forever”
I run my hand down it and feel the tough bark beneath my skin tickling the palm of my hand
“I guess forever isn’t very long”
I said to myself
that was the day you left
and never came back.
No one wanted to tell me
No one wanted to say to me, that I would never see you again
That you were gone forever
I feel a tear roll down my cheek to the bottom of my chin
I never got to tell you one last time that I loved you
But I hope you know that I did
And I hope you know that I still do
