Something Permanent

I cherish the times we are together.

I treasure all the laughs and frowns.

You and I were inseparable;

Going through life’s ups and downs.

It was a feeling I never could say.

(It was a bond that put lovers to shame!)

It was more than words could ever hope convey.

And I could never let God have the blame.

It’s funny – how life makes you see,

The pettiness of coincidence, the nakedness of words.

There are truths and deeper meanings

That the closed heart can’t open with a key.

If there was one thing I learned,

It was that people come and go and to it there is no end.

And that wishing for something real is just a wish,

Even for something permanent.

I cherish the times we were together.

I treasure all the laughs and frowns.

You and I were inseparable;

Going, and going, through life’s ups and downs.
