The music box
Just before you left
Wood so warm and smooth to my touch
Your touch was smoother
I still feel you in my sleep
You wrote, “I will always love you forever and forever…”
Forever is not what I wished for
It never lasts that long
I open it…
“Bright are the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love her”
The song is always the same
I will never be the same
We still dance together
Engraved in the wood embraced as we twirl
Just us, dancing forever to the same song…this must be what you meant.
But forever is never that long 💙
