Together Forever

Here she is Those miles away Missing him each and every day Her hearts ripped open She is a mess A beauty in a worn down dress Bruised and beaten Make-up only covers so much She smiles just to hide the tears He knows of all her deepest fears Freedom she finds within his mind Lasts long enough to get of this rut When his voice does fade away Into the dirt, she finds her way The sky turns different shades of gray While all of the colors fade away On the corner where she stands He reaches out to take her hand Startled she pulls away They began again today In a restaurant below A couple stands kinds in tow Number the waiter asks Four they reply Never batting an eye Ten years older and wiser Kids out of the house Mans hair is dusted with gray The lady still dyes hers away Off to work they both head And late at night when they go to bed A kiss with feelings just like their first Shared between the two Another ten years quickly pass The two retire at last On a park bench they both sit Younger couples passing by The woman turns tear drops in her eye The end was soon to come A few months later A hospital bed Her head rested in his hands “ I love you” she whispered in her last breath “I love you too” he replied A single tear fell from his eyes Two years later he passed too I guess even they both knew When love is true, Together forever really is too.
