I just wrote this one on Monday...at least I think it was Monday...
I'll Love You Forever
Don't ever forget, what you said to me,
On the day we first kissed, by the trunk of our tree,
You said that you'd love me, year after year,
You said that you loved me, and that was my fear.
Commitment had scared me, mistakes of my past.
But you said our love was one that would last.
And I loved you so deeply, I had to believe,
So I helped make our goal, one we could achieve.
We married four years, right after that day.
"I'll love you forever," is what you still say.
And year after year, that promise you keep,
From when we awake, to when we both sleep.
But time had to pass, we were over the hill,
"I'll love you for always," is what you say, still.
You smiled your smile, and my eyes had shone,
And for so many years, I was never alone.
Then one rainy day, in a hospital bed,
"You know I still love you," is what you had said.
"I'll meet you in heaven, and thanks for the ride.
I'll love you forever. I'll be at your side."
