Always and Forever

Here I ponder in the dark,
Forever I wait,
Always and Forever.

Your memory will fade with time,
Yet I still think you'll be walking through the door any minute,
Always and Forever.

The roses are brown and unkempt,
The garden doesn't shine with beauty,
Always and Forever.

The dust billows across the veranda floor,
The cold wind's noise is piercing and harsh,
Always and Forever.

The clock chimes the hour,
It's so haunting,
Always and Forever.

I feel the tears roll down,
I shiver with undying denial,
Always and Forever.

The day has gone now,
I lay me down and go to sleep,
Always and Forever.

I hear whispers of the Nocturne,
The piano plays in the dark,
Always and Forever.

Tonight is the night,
I let go of you,
Always and Forever.
