Almost Forever

by Kate   Jan 2, 2015


Looking at you I used to think I had it all. The best friend turned husband, partner in life, father of my future children. I enjoyed our time together and wouldn't trade it for the world. The moments we shared over 11 years that others may have thought were nothing special meant the world to me. Sitting next to one another on the couch, going for boat rides, laying in bed in the morning just snuggling and talking, jamming out to old songs on the radio on the way to the lake for the weekend, making each other laugh, dancing in the kitchen to our favorite song, the warmth of a much needed hug, the smell of your cologne as you walked by. All of these memories bring a smile to my face and tears to my eyes..... because it was almost forever.

Almost forever because you chose to drink
Almost forever because you chose to lie
Almost forever because you chose to post
Almost forever because you fell for her
Almost forever because you chose you instead of us

Now I lie here remembering the good times praying and wishing I had them back, but ultimately knowing I will have to grieve their loss as they were taken from me along with my hope and faith. Why and How could you do this to me, to us?

We were almost forever.
