Live on

It feels like eternity, but I know one thing is true. If this was eternity, I’d still be with you. They say this will get easier, that life will be good. I don’t want to listen now, just let me hide among the woods. The radio, it spoke to me, like no one has before. It told me life goes on, to keep living because there is more. And more I shall believe, with all these new friends. I met them but a fortnight, but they’ve already helped me mend. Yes it’s difficult, you knew me so well. And I knew you too, that which you did tell. No, it won’t be easy, but nothing is impossible. Fate has pulled us apart so let us be reasonable. Separation may be good, we both have our support. “Yet we don’t have each other” would be a fair enough retort. Yes we do, it’ll just take time. I (for one) have to get used to not calling you mine. I do feel emotion, I do feel pain. But life pushes through like sunlight through the rain. And so we will move on, we must to survive. Take one breath at a time, to remind you you’re alive. You’ll be you and I’ll be me, separately we’ll grow. I just want to assure you, what I gave was no show. Life moves along and we must catch up, find your friends and ask them to help you up. Live long, live well. Live your life as you will. Happiness only comes once you’ve had your fill.
