forever

It’s been 6 years. 
6 years since you touched this Earth,
Walking barefoot through the grass, soaking in every last step. 
6 years since you last laughed,
A laugh that reached into the depths of my soul. 
6 years since our last touch,
Which could have burned the world to the ground 
6 years since your last breath.

My pain is the only proof that you were ever real

We always said forever.
That I was forever, 
That you were forever,
That we were forever,

I guess forever didn’t actually mean forever.
