Forever Yours

I close my eyes and remember those days

Those days when we were innocent and free

Why does all good things have to end?

Why do you have to leave?

I put my hands on my hair and remember the touches

The touches that made my skin tingle

Why does all good things important to me fade away?

Why do you have to go away?

I open my eyes and shake my head

No use of wondering, remembering

You're never coming back anyway

A tear escapes my eyes

I get up from bed and walk

Walk to my window to watch

Watch your mother and sister crying

Your father and brother follows

I look up to the large yellow sun

I look up to the clear blue skies

Why does this day has to be so beautiful?

Supposed to be dreary, sad

A knock came from my door

Immediately wipe my eyes

I open my door and see

My mother with a sad smile

I nod, understanding

She nods back and pats my hair

I step out of my room

Follow my mother out of the house

The whole town is sad

Giving me sympathetic looks

Try to ignore them, I did

But it is just too hard

The whole town came

Mother and I in the front row

Your family beside us

As the ceremony went on

Then the time came

When I stand up and walk

To the coffin where you lay

Lifeless, cold, dead

Tears starts to stream down

Why do you have to go?

And be killed in the war?

You don't deserve to be

As I watch you there

As if you were sleeping

Can't help remembering the days

The days we spent together

We were both seven

Your family moved

To the house next to mine

Curiosity crept to me

We instantly became friends

You were my hero

Those mischievous blue eyes

Those wavy blonde hair

We were fifteen

When you started showing signs

Signs that you like me

Signs that you want me

Then five years passed

We were both seventeen

You gave me my first kiss

I felt flying, so happy

Now I am eighteen

You swore you'd marry me

And in my finger

Slipped a silver ring

But then the war came

It was 1941

All eighteen-year-old boys and above

Have to go to war, have to fight

Before you left, a kiss you gave

Promised you were coming home

And when you'd arrive

You'd marry me

But three weeks of worrying

Three weeks of praying

Your younger brother came

Said you died in the war

I collapsed to a chair

Looked up at your brother

He must be lying

You wouldn't die

But the soldiers took your body

Back to your parents

The whole town saw

Your mother crying in anguish

The memories I try to push away

And focus on the present

I lean closer to your coffin

"I love you forever," I whisper

I turn away, as my mother came

Buries me into a hug

Promises everything is going to be okay

But I know it wouldn't

So later that night

I go to bed, carrying your picture

Lay it beside me

A picture tells a thousand of words

I raised the glass I'm holding

And pour the violet liquid

I bought at the store this morning

And look down to your picture

We can still have our forever

But it wouldn't be here on Earth

Closing my eyes, I drink

And everything turn black

And I only see your face.
