Never Knowing Forever

Today I learned of great distress

Today I learned that life is one huge test

Today she faded away from me

Today she woke back up so cheerfully

I know not now-just what to think

It makes me sad it makes me glad

I want to cry and I want to die

All I want is what I cannot change



Confusing thoughts inside my head

Am I alive in your heart or am I dead?

Do I pulse through your thoughts all throughout the day

Or with the coma...do they fade away?

The innermind and heart are true

They both know exactly just what to do

And if you were to die right here today

Inside my heart you would forever stay



Each word you wrote, they made me think

Each phrase you said, it make me wonder

The silence I hear still rumbles through my head

I sometimes laugh I sometimes cry

I sometimes wonder what it would be like if you died



I hold your each and every gift so close

Your paintings and thoughts are what mean the most

They make me think of you each day

They make sure that for you I pray



I want something true right here, right now

I want something that will comfort me right now

I need someone that understands pain like this

I need someone that can know how to comfort this

I need someone that is true right now

I want someone who is you right now



Here is for knowing nothing about forever

Here is for never giving up about wanting something forever

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is written for 2 people in 2 different parts of my heart, both I love dearly, both I think about and pray about and try to be there for each and every day.  Both know that I need them right now, at this time...both should know how much I care about them.
