Nothing Good Can stay

The flower you gave me started to die.
The ring you gave me began to rust.
The chocolates disappearing.
But as long as your still here with me.

Or as so I thought.
3 years later, Our love is still true.
It's just the world,
it's just so cruel.

You promised "forever".
Do we still look together??

You went away.
Just like I had thought.
Nothing good can ever stay..
