Forever.

Forever was the promise I made to you that night under the twinkling stars

Forever was the lie I had to face when you left me under the scorching July sun

Forever was the amount of time that blood would drip down my cracked heart

As I heard a tearful, blissfully happy you saying ‘yes’ to someone else

Time passed by, I resented you for hurting me

As much as I hated you, I loved you a million times more

And yet, when you ran back to me and said you were sorry

Sorry for everything you did, even the nights you woke me up by knocking on my front door

You were soaking wet, standing in the rain with your puffy red eyes

You told me you missed me so much and you made a mistake by letting me go

I welcomed you in opened arms, hugging you so tightly in my embrace

After all, when I had said ‘forever’ that night long ago

You knew it hadn’t been a lie.
