Etching the Words of Forever

by RB   Feb 11, 2008


You etched the words of forever into my heart.
I can't say it didn't hurt, but I kind of enjoyed the pain.
Now I'm left with your scar, and without you.

To tell you the truth, I'm still chasing after you.
First I chased after your footsteps, but those disappeared.
Then I chased after your scent, but it eventually faded.

Now there's nothing left for me to chase,
So why am I still chasing after your heart?

My knuckles are white from holding on too tightly,
But I will never ever let you slip away.

There's no use chasing after forgotten words,
But you promised me forever, and baby,
Those aren't words you can just take back.
