Once you promised me forever,
But forever went too fast,
For now the days we shared are over.
I guess the dream just couldn’t last.
But the days we spent together
Are etched upon my memory,
Like the day that you came to me
And said you needed to be free.
Whatever happened to
The love between me and you?
After all that we have both been through,
Can this really be the end?
You were supposed to be
A part of my destiny,
But even now I don’t want to see
That forever had to end.
Now I spend each day in sorrow,
Wondering where you might have gone,
And I’ll have to face tomorrow
And find a way to carry on.
But for now, I’ll keep on waiting,
Hoping you will change your mind,
And soon I’ll be anticipating
The day I’ll leave your love behind.
