FOREVER AND ALWAYS

"You swore you�d love me forever!� she cried helplessly
�And love you forever I shall.� He said with a smile
Forever and always
Love one another until the end of time
For mortals, love only lasts until death
But for us?
Love is eternal, much like our lives
Five years ago, I found you once more
And our vows were renewed
My feelings never faltered
And you promise yours are still the same
Yet you have strayed�
And fallen in �love� with a mortal
I cannot believe it true
I refuse to!
You ask me why?
She is not one of us
She couldn�t possibly understand!
Don�t you see?
�Tis supposed to be you and me
Forever and always
Like we swore centuries past
Look into my eyes
Don�t let go of my hand
Stay with me. . .
Forever and always.
