Forever wasn't ours to keep,
a truth we knew, yet failed to grasp;
the agony of our parting still echoes in my heart,
an aching reminder that we couldn't last.

The echo of our last conversation lingers in my mind,
a stinging refrain;
You said it would be all right,
but my heart knew it would never be the same.

Like autumn leaves, we fell apart,
cried my heart, as the comforting warmth of your love
turned ice cold.

Perhaps, forever was just a myth,
meant to deceit us, then leave in a hush.
Maybe it was ours to experience, not ours to proceed;
but ours to relinquish.

Forever wasn't ours to keep,
a fleeting fairytale we couldn't seize.
