Alas

It seems so long ago
That you and I were forever
It seems so long ago
We promised "never let go"

Alas such time has passed!
Now we're seas apart
Leading different lives
...

Actions we've both acted
Beyond our own control? I'll never know.
Alas, forever bode beside
Both our growig hips

A like I always knew
Forever would not last
Forever was just for now
And just for now was perfect

Our tiny little, beautiful world
So different from outside
Our joyous little comfort zone
The layer around us both.

We knew it was special
Otherwise I would have chose
Someone so much better
Someone more beautiful

But to me that was not possible,
For I can run my finger
In my memory
Along every cure

I loved you so dearly
And still think so sometimes
Your curves, your smell, everything.
Alas, I am not let.

The last stanza is missing. Coffee got poured over it. Will rectify.
