Forever

You said forever,

You said for all time,

You said there would be no ending,

To your heart and mine.

You signed your letters "Eternity"

And you'd always be by my side,

You told me for the rest of my life,

And then you said "Good-bye".

What happened to 'forever',

What happened to 'all time',

What happened between us then,

When you said 'Good-bye'.

What happened to 'eternity',

What happened to your heart,

What happened when you went from forever,

To tearing us apart.

They say how quickly,

Memories they fade,

But I could never wipe your smile,

Or your loving eyes away.

But I also tend to remember,

How you said this must be best.

I remember the way you felt from your eyes,

I remember the night you left.
