I take a breath, <br />And I hear you sigh. <br />I close my eyes, <br />I'll try hard not to cry. <br />You take my hand, <br />But I pull it away. <br />Together forever <br />Was what we would say. <br />Not today <br /> <br />A long time ago <br />We sat up in the night, <br />And wished on the stars <br />With all of our might. <br />That together forever'd <br />Last ever so long <br />But not now- <br />That stars' gone <br /> <br />A wish on a star <br />is not but a dream <br />And now that I know <br />Things are not as they seem- <br />Together forever <br />Was a phrase you would use. <br />Together forever <br />Meant nothing to you. <br /> <br />Oh, you're just a waste <br />Of my time and my space <br />Pack up your bags <br />And walk out that door <br />I don't want to see <br />Your face here anymore. <br />Together forever <br />Was a phrase you would use <br />Together forever <br />Meant nothing to you <br /> <br />Together forever <br />Was what we would say <br />Not today <br />Not anymore.<br /><br />Kimberley Keller<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/forever-304/
