Forever
A smile
so attractive
Skin slightly tanned
He has the face of a boy
But the eyes of a man
He was my best friend
& He knew me very well
Though he didn’t know it was
On him my mind would dwell
We were
destined to be
Close friends, never lovers
Though we were selfless
In our love for one another
I’m a vulnerable woman
& I can’t help falling in love
Though I knew he cared to be
Just “friends” was not enough
I passed up the chance
Of a lifetime when I let him go
It wasn’t until after
His feelings for me I came to know
I loved him not wisely
I loved him just too well
It all happened so quickly
& the consequences were Hell
Feeling the loneliness without him
Brought back the memories we shared
How happy we were together
& how much he really cared
I moved on and found another
Yet something my heart did lack
Then I saw “him” one day
& the memories came flooding back
It was
is in his eyes I saw
A breathless desire
A burning passion
That glowed like a fire
I should’ve known from before
That you did love me
I guess that I was
Just too blind to see
Ironic,
how within seconds
I’d forgotten the new man I did find
And replaced him with the man
That I had left behind
I finally found a love
That’s pure, deep, & permanent
And for the first time I knew
What
“Forever” really meant…
