Forever
We met
I giggled
You were serious
I felt your heart even then
Our souls said hello again
Here we go
A lifetime would pass
33 years to be exact
And still
And still
As you lay there in your last hours
I loved you just as much as I did the day we met
When I was so in awe of you, I couldn’t believe you would spare your breath on me
Now, with no breath left in you
We say good-bye
Until we meet again
You will know me by my giggle
And I will know you without fail
Forever
