Still ‘When’

Something changed,
It stopped working.
Summer was hard and
We couldn’t go back.

I tried to deny it
But I knew it was coming.
It didn’t make it easier
When we finally parted.

It’s going to take time
For me to be okay.
I will be okay, though;
Maybe even good.

You’ll never lose me
From your life.
We’re intertwined now,
Forever.

You’re my ‘forever girl’
And I, your ‘forever guy’.
Sadly, we realised
‘Forever’ isn’t now.

In years to come,
The time will be right
And it will be better
Than it ever was before.

When that time comes,
I’ll be ready for you.
Yes, it’s still ‘when’,
Not ‘if’.
