This silent ache
scares me
I should
feel happiness
to know
we have until
forever
But
forever
scares me
What happens
after forever
Time
is zipping by
so fast
and out of control
I can't
slow it down
Have you
ever stood
next to
a subway car
moving
at top speed
and want
to stop it
with your
bare hands
I don't think
it can be done
But
time
that's more
dangerous than
a moving subway
because
we can't
touch time
we can't
jump in
and slam
on the brakes
I never thought
the day
would come
where forever
just doesn't seem
long enough
But
that day
is here
We
will be
together
forever
I know this
Please ignore
the fat tears
that race
down my cheeks
as you say
we'll be together
forever.
