Forget

My heart aches

At the thought of losing you.

Soon to be replaced

By another.

Burning questions linger,

Their answers

I dare not find.

Will she love better than I?

How long till you forget?

For so long now

I have watched you grow.

Nothing much was said

That first day,

I did all the talking.

Slow but steady,

Your words began to flow

Sometimes they failed to stop.

Your world became mine

As you chose to trust.

I saw your strength

And your weakness

You could not hide.

And that is how

I grew to know,

To understand,

To love.
