Forever Ago

It seems like forever ago

When the trees danced with the wind

And the waves crashed with each other,

The same way we did.

We weren't meant to be together now

But forever ago, we were.

The rain floods the streets

Just like your laughter flooded my head.

The thunder scared off the dogs

The same way the thought of losing you scared me.

It seems like forever ago

When I thought we were meant to be.

The lightning brightened the street corners

Like your smile brightened my day.

The heat of the campfires warmed me up

The way you did at night.

It was just forever ago

When we were meant to be.

But as soothing as it all sounds,

All good things come to an end.

Like a stray dog outside the burger joint,

I'm left waiting for you.

Like an open can of soda,

I'm left with nothing to do.

It was forever ago

But it wasn't me and you.

I'm the campfire waiting

While you're the rain in action.

You're putting me out slowly

But it's giving you satisfaction.

I was your tree

But you're the storm ripping my branches off.

Or the ocean

With you going in tsunami strong.

I'm the sadness of the grey sky

While you're the peaceful water flowing by.

I'm the logs of the campfire

Fueling your flames to reach up higher

I'm the seaweed that washed up from sea

Unwanted until you needed me.

Now it seemed like forever ago

When I was there for you

But it was never ago

When you were there for me too

Because you abandoned me

And you waked away.

But don't worry about me

Because I'll be okay.
