The Promise Forever

I am waitng for you.

I keep on waiting, hoping that one day you'd come.

I am right here in our favourite place, sitting, and wondering where you are.

I could see the old us under the oak tree where we carved our name.

We were talking.

We were smiling.

We were laughing.

We were chasing each other.

We were happy.

I could see you there under the oak tree as you are carve our names.

And I could hear you saying,

"It will remain here forever as I'll be on your side forever. I love you."

Then we kissed.

It's like watching a movie.

So close yet so far.

So real yet so sad.

So vivid yet so distant.

The white clouds are now turning to purple bruise and the birds are flying home.

The old us looked up, watching the daylight fades.

Then you put your arms around me like a blanket and we remain like that as the last light of the sun fades out.

The old me thought it was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen.

And the best part is, you wrapping your arms around me and it feels like the softest quilt.

I watched as the old us packed their things, went to your truck and went home.

It's getting late and you haven't showed up.

Stars are starting to appear joining the lone moon.

I look up, staring at the stars as they twinkle to life.

I thought a tear escaped from my eye but when I tried to wipe it there's none.

I guess, I'll be back tomorrow again but I need to do one last thing.

To visit one more place.

I hope I'll find you in that place waiting for me.

So I went to your grave.

It wasn't there.

So I went back to mine.
