Left

there was a time when i thought about forever and put myself in it.

"of course we'll always be friends."

but it didn't need said, ever.

"one day..."

that was all.  one day would come, and we'd be there together.

"keep in touch."

well, here i am.  out of reach.

"...forever...forever...forever..."

promises i can't keep.  i'm no match for eventually.

"don't leave."

maybe not now.


i still dream, and promise, and lie.
but if forever shows up, i'd still like to meet it.
even if i have to do it alone.
