Never

I can’t change this
Everyone assumes the same
Finally even you ask
that I stop trying.

You know I never will.

I remember that day
On the swing bridge
Down at the falls
I should return there.

You know I never will.

White meant to calm
Only I feel empty
Maybe I’ll one day
be better at waiting.

You know I never will.

I’ll hold your hand
As I did then
But this time’s different
I’ll hold on forever.

You know I never will.

You say I should
Marry a wonderful person
And build a family
“move on,” you say.

You know I never will.

But I did.
And you’ll never know.
