Sure, I believe in you.
Mostly, I believe that you believe
in all the promises you make,
in all the possibilities.
But there's not enough time,
there's never enough time.
Soon we'll grow up.
I'll stop believing
that we'll spend a weekend watching fireworks,
that we'll sleep under the stars,
that you'll love me forever.
We'll grow up
and we'll forget about the time
we played tag in the grass like kids again,
the time we walked along the beach,
the time we slept, wrapped in each other's arms.
I only wish
it could stay
this simple.
this is amazing, Emily.
ReplyDeletereally made me feel something while reading it. which is very weird for me. :P
I wish there was a way to keep things simple for the rest of our lives. But, I guess everything gets complicated at some point.
This poem is very moving. I am experiencing just such a problem in my own relationship as I plan to head off to university next year. I'm scared but I find that remebering those moments is the most important part of the relationship.
