I don’t believe in forever…

I used to have a precious, pet cat.

I had always attended to her needs.

I told her many times we would be together, forever.

I could be taking care of her until this day,

But one day I just gave her away.

I once kept a poem so dear to me.

I made sure to read it each night.

I said I’d keep it with me forever.

I could have kept it inside my drawer,

But I decided to burn that paper.

My love had to leave the town.

He gave me a cat to remind me of him,

And a poem saying our love would be forever.

Our plan was after a year, I’d follow him to France,

But then I didn’t, for I became scared to take the chance.

I don’t know how it ended.

I just woke up in a daze; got rid of the letter and the cat.

But still I was holding on to that promise of forever.

Lord knows, I still waited…Deep inside, I kept believing…

Just believing…Only to find another lonely ending…

So I don’t believe in forever…

‘Cause now I know believing is not enough.

Making something last is a decision,

And forever is a choice.
