I Won't Be Here Forever

by Rachel   May 21, 2006


It's been so long
Since I've seen your face.
I miss seeing you everyday.
Searching my memory
For signs of you.
Trying so hard to hear your voice in my mind.
It scares me that I can't remember you
As easily as I could.
It's like you were never in my life.
You could just walk away,
Like I wouldn't notice you slip away.
It hurts to think,
That you can forget me in a second,
And run away, never looking back.
But the truth is,
Running away won't make this go away.
Running away won't make me miss you less.
This sadness grows a little stronger each day.
Crashing the world onto my shoulders.
Would you please, try to fix this,
Before it goes too far.
Seeing you,
Would make this wound bleed less.
I've done my share of fighting for this.
I've been defeated many times.
Sometimes I think that this isn't worth it,
But giving up would be worse
Than waiting to see what happens.
That's what I'm going to do,
Sit here and see if time helps at all.
But don't wait too long,
Because I won't stay here forever.
