Once I truly loved someone and I still do, regardless of time or situation. |
-What We Had, What We Knew- by Keaton Foster What we had What we knew Any of it true Increasingly I fear The answer At least for you Is no You are gone And I’m here alone Never was it clear Why did you go How could you leave I loved you more Than thought possible More than any heart Especially mine Could dare define Such a lack of clarity As to why you left Has left a crater In my very soul I’ve tried to fill it To again make it whole A complete version Of who I was before us But the more I place inside The more I come to know That it is deeper Than ever thought before Our once inescapable love Should have been forever When forever Was what it was Least of all You have since moved on How, I have not a clue You tell me you’re happy You swear it was right And that you and I Were meant to fail So that you and him Could now succeed I assure you That what was done is best Not because I believe it But because I still love you And for you and that love I’d do anything required Anything to benefit you And the happiness desired What we had What we knew Is to you gone But for me it remains Stronger in many ways I swore to you and God above Until death do us part And here I am still alive Living this shattered life Without you And in despite of you I won’t break any promise No matter the price Regardless of the reason You are happy now And because I love you I assure you that I’m content With the idea that what we had Is forever and ever gone What we had What we knew Is all that I still have And all that I now know Call it sad Say that it’s tragic Tell me to move on Do what you need to While I myself do the same Love is a mountain we climb A forever sea we must swim True love is undeniable And unbreakable There can be nothing less At least as far as I am concerned There are days and nights That I wish it wasn’t so What we had What we knew For me remains As it always did… What We Had, What We Knew Written by Keaton Foster Copyright © 2015. |
