Sleepless nights
have caused my mind to wander.
I find myself
in a moment of happiness.
Embraced in your arms,
feeling the warmth of your body against me.
I smile, and tell you I love you.
Promise you that it will be forever.
But forever
ended.
As I lay a red rose on your chest,
I notice
you look paler than usual.
Your lifeless body
has lost its twinkle.
I pray
for just one more moment with you.
But my prayers go unanswered.
Refusing to give up,
I will keep this picture clutched to my heart.
Wishing
that it was more than just a memory.
But I promise,
we will be together soon.
'Cause baby, I meant it when i said
forever.
