End of Forever

Woke up this morning
Remembered the truth
No lie could break through it
Nothing ever could
 
It’s just so hard
To believe
That you’re gone
From this world
 
Seems like yesterday
We were playing on the swings
Promising each other
We would never leave
 
Thought that was a promise
Thought it would stay true
Thought we would both stay alive
To see the end of time
 
Thought we’d live forever
Thought we’d live our dreams
Thought it’d be a long time
Before one of us disappeared
 
I guess there’s no such thing
As together forever
Just hope for the end
To never come
 
I look to the stars
Wishing every night
That somehow you
Could come back to life
 
I look to the stars
They’re shining so bright
They give me some hope
On this dark, cold night
 
They remind me of you
And the last time
I hugged you
And got to say “Good-bye”
 
I held you so tight
Not wanting to let go
To admit I was wrong
And that you were leaving home
 
You comforted me
As I shed a tear
For I knew you were going
And you knew it too
 
Yet you still
Wanted to give me some hope
You told me you’d try
Try to stay alive
 
Told me “It’s okay,”
“It’s going to be alright
I’m not going yet
I’ve still got another night,”
 
We looked to the stars
Just like I am tonight
I swear I can see you
Shining so bright
 
Wish I could have told you
How I would miss you
If I had put my faith in you
You wouldn’t have had to go
 
You would have grown strong
With my faith helping you grow
Since there was nothing there
Your life came to a close
 
Try to remember you
But it hurts too much
The empty spot you left in me
Burns from lack of touch

It’s just memories
That I have of you now
It still hurts to think of you
I wish I could stay strong
 
Now I’ll take the faith
I should have given
I’ll try to use it my best
And move along with life
 
I look to the stars
Wishing once again
Not for your return
But for a peaceful rest
