We promised each other forever.
I guess you had other ideas.
And forever is a long time
Now that you're gone.
Here alone I keep the wolves at bay.
And I'll wait.
Hoping you'll come back.
Hope is a lonely thing.
It is consuming.
A hungry thing, this hope.
It has teeth that cut like knives.
But to hope still I cling.
When I promised you forever,
I meant it.
And forever I'll wait.
