Forever Love

His voice still rings
inside my head.
that word "Love"
simply dead.

We spent every day
and every waking hour
holding hands
our love a strong power.

The days seemed too short,
the time apart too long.
But it got me through
when I waited and stayed strong.

But that day I remember,
as I remember yesterday,
when he told me the war
needed him to go away.

That next month
was so romantic
as we spent time together
as the time continued to tick.

But that day came,
the day of which I despise,
He left me alone
as my heart filled with silent cries.

I waited for days
weeks and months too
before getting the note
somehow the words I knew.

The dirtied paper
told me it was over
he had gone missing
confirmed to be forever.

I cried all night
and for days that followed
and I knew I had to give up
And let my heart be hollowed.

I met someone else
we loved each other so
nothing compared to my soldier
but my heart began to grow.

Our love seemed to be
able to continue forever
until another letter I received
for it to come, i thought never.

From my first true love
it held the words i dread
he was coming home
safe and wanting us to wed.

Tears filled my eyes
and I knew love was
much too complicated for me
two loves was the cause.

He came home soon
from the horrible war
and hugged me tightly
until my arms became soar.

My new love walked in
and stared at the stranger
a triangle of love
put my heart in danger.
