Forever

Fri, 11/17/2017 - 17:10 -- ParkM

Dear You,

I was thinking about forever.

A forever with you…

A forever without walls up,

Just, a forever.

 

It was my “maybe someday”

Just for us.

 

When my walls crumbled,

You stood on the other side

Sledgehammer in hand and

Your angelic presence blinding.

 

So it didn’t matter that broken brick laid at my feet

Or the fact that my heart had moved to my sleeve

 

All that mattered was that you

were in front of me.

If only I had seen,

Our future ending badly.

 

Maybe then I would have savored

The fact that you stood so beautifully

I want that image burned into my mind

I just want a forever with you,

If only I had a clue

 

So I guess I should tell you

How my forever would go,

It’d be someday after school,

Someday where you’ve reached your dreams,

Where I’ve reached mine

 

But a someday where I come home

To you

Or a someday where you wake up

And I’m in our kitchen,

Making our breakfast and tea while I work on a grant proposal

And you have a rehearsal.

 

A someday where we have date traditions

A someday where I don’t relapse

Or maybe a someday where we can both be happy

A someday where we’d have a small studio in New York

Or a small house in a small town.

A someday where we’re together.

 

So I guess you can imagine

How much strength it took me

When you said you were going to hurt me

Sure, I knew it was true

But I would never let you know that.

But when you said we wouldn’t last

My heart broke.

 

You said maybe we’d end up together

Was there any other way to get my hopes up?

 

So this is for the forever.

The one that doesn’t exist.

 

But also for that one day.

Where I expect to see your face.

For the someday that we’ll meet again

And maybe share a kiss.

 

Even though you’ll hurt me,

I’ll live for that someday

The someday that just maybe,

it’ll just be you

and me.
