But One You Gave to Me

forever is a word I abandoned –
so many forevers
have ended for me,
becoming sometimeses
or nevers – no forever
has ever lasted as long.
Forever is a word I discounted –
it never comes true
anyway. No one
ever means it. Too much
commitment.
Too much faith.
Forever is a word you uttered –
one night, when our souls
dripped through our words.
I don’t take forever
lightly. “I’d still like to be
friends forever.”
Forever is a word you gave to me –
and I received it gladly. I, too,
want to be friends forever. As long
as I live, and then some.
