Dream a little longer here
and we can Play Pretend,
because after all,
we’re friends
right?
that’s what you said
back then.

Forever and a day
that’s what you’d say
and Forever felt
so far away.

so maybe when Forever came
i wouldn’t have to be afraid
of the shapes in the dark
or the tree in your yard
where you used to sit
and try to touch the sky.

Never,
you’d say,
we’ll never Fall,
and never was our safety net.

has it been forever yet?
i can’t tell
and all i know is that everything keeps Shrinking
everything but you,
and you’ve been climbing Higher
and never feels too close.

but it’s Ok
it’s Ok
because you said forever,
forever and a day.
