Poetry About Acceptance, Love, and Life

What Happened to Forever?

Through ups and downs,
problems and solutions
love and loss
We promised we'd stay together

Our friends drifted away
but we stayed together
We found our safe spaces
We kept on smiling
There was no stopping us

I worked hard for you
Harder than I really could
But it didn't stop me
I was in love with you

You filled my heart
with joy and love
By touching my hand
By smiling your beautiful smile
By just telling me
how much you loved me

Sitting at a picnic table
We made promises to each other
That we'd always be together
That we would work through our problems
That we would never stop loving one another

What happened to those promises?
What happened to I love you?
What happened to all of our dreams?
What happened to forever?
