FOREVER

my tears will not change
the past.
my prayers won't bring
you back.
i realize that i must let
you go now
my sanity is at stake.
if i could hear
your voice again
if i could only feel
the touch of your hand.
but time waits
for no one
and dreams soon fade away.
i must let you go now
i've got to get on
with my life,
wherever i go
you will be there beside me
your words shall live
in my heart
forever.
