Forever

The road drags on forever through the bare, flat grassland.

Mental images and memories race through my mind.

The picture of you, I see the most.

I see the shape and aspects of your face.

The color of your face, eyes, and hair.

Awake from the day dreaming of what I used to have.

And into the harsh, cruel world I must face.

By myself without you.

The trees pass by as I glance out the car window.

Hometown...mine, forever mine.

Forever binded into my heart.

Shadows of us, of what used to be, race through the streets.

Why were we so young?

So ignorant was I.

I left, without one goodbye.

No choice did I have.

Neither one of us had.

Old towering buildings float by.

Force pulls me onto a deserted street.

The street I grew up on.

The house I grew up in.

The yard we used to play on.

Tears fill my eyes as everybody looks away.

Nobody loves it here...besides me.

The car comes to stop.

I stare out the window towards the abandoned yard.

I think of everything we knew...the things we've done.

All the memories come back in an instant.

Only kids were we.

But nobody understands.

Now...I think of you all the time.

Do you think of me?

I think of everything.

The feelings I've had.

The feelings of being haunted while walking down the grass covered sidewalk.

Looking down the path we've always known.

Close my eyes.

And see a little four year old boy.

Walking down the path, towards where I lived.

Tears clear out the memory.

As you fade away.

I walk backwards and realize...

That forever will I love you.

Everything I've ever known...

Fades away.

You...

Stay the same.

One thing I've always known...

Is you, my friend.

One things I've always depended on...

Is you, my love.

More like a brother than any...

More of a friend than every.

Forever you will be.
