Forevers

You filled my life with forevers
But forever must have died yesterday

And time leaks by now
Drip by drip
They ask me how I'm doing
And the pseudo mask hides it
With the plastic smile and the wined up laugh
That manages to fool them
But I was real with you
And look where it got me
I told you the truth
And now there's no you left
Cause even though
You talked of forever
Forever must have died yesterday

So I lay down my head
And try to sleep
Although my mind pounds
With each tick of the clock
Analyzing each move that I made
Each word you uttered
Catching each tear that seeps
From my very being
And I hold with me
A pile of forevers
But forever must have died yesterday

Now I'm taking your hand in mine
Lost in the eyes that knew me
Long before I ever did
And my lips are tangled
In a world of words I couldn't speak
As I kiss away phobias
And hide securely in your arms
Feeling your soul dance with mine
Whispering I love you's
I fly on forevers
And I died yesterday...
