Oh I would wait,
You know I would,
Until the end of time,

Until all was gone,
Even the dust,
And then you would be mine,

We would float in the great black nothing,
The only things at all,
With no fear of falling,
Because there’s nowhere to fall,

I’d give you my heart,
It’d be mine to give,
It would only be yours,

We would be together,
From then on,
Infinitely, now into forever.

But we will both end,
Long before time,
And as much as it hurts,
You’ll never be mine,

So I cannot wait,
And neither can you,
For some impossible future,

So please let me go,
I’ll let you go too,
And stop pulling at these sutures,

Time may not heal,
But it will ease,
So I’m asking you now,
I’m begging you, please,

Because I would wait.
An old poem for old feelings that have since passed.
Once upon a time, I loved you,
But there was no happy end,
We parted painfully, as strangers,
Who claimed to once be friends,
But we both knew better,
We know that hearts,
They break, not bend,
And as for you and me,
There could be no happy end.

— The End —
