Forever
I could have danced as forever moved along
letting the music play our song,
on and on and on in perpetuity
of the bond existing between you and me,
but the melody is melancholic
bringing back all the early day frolics,
of heartaches with its tears
when time was ours over the years
living the dream come true;
now,
it's just a memory, more than one or two
a sanguine respite of the dream that was with you
when you were my all, the love that it was to bring
destined forever to be my everything;
was it just the dream rehearsed
drowned and immersed
in our foolish youthful promisings
hopeful, whimsical imaginings;
a lasting love throughout all time
come what may full circle, never easy to find,
full of laughter, joyous love, then tragedy
living life, at work, at home, at play in harmony;
sadly now,
beyond the dream that once was
finally out of my control and severed
I long for the forever
remaining
within our souls.
