Losing Forever
We were like the flower
He gave me on that day.
Colorful, blossoming,
Full of life in every way.
This flower smelled so sweet;
Was tall and full of beauty.
And to keep it that way,
I felt was my duty.
I nurtured it, watered it,
Fed it and watched it grow.
I loved it in a way that I once
Thought I would never know.
But slowly the petals wilted
As talks became less frequent.
We saw each other less
But you were not entirely absent.
Yet eventually the stem bent
As flowers often do
And slowly the words "I love you"
Became less and less true.
The petals began to fall
And infrequent visits became never.
When the last petal fell, I no longer felt
Sad at the loss of our forever.
