Half of Forever

Johnny Yuma
You and I met and fell in love--

What a beautiful love it was.

We swore we'd stay together forever.

Later you started seeing others.

You wanted me and several more.

Our lives are about half over.

It isn't forever!

I think you loved me half of forever--

Or maybe you loved me never.

Half of forever, and I was a fool.

Everybody knew but me.

Everybody laughed with glee!

I thought you were true.

I was happy with you.

You wanted me and more.

Your forever was over.

Now you are gone.

I'm on my own.

Now I will never trust another.

Our love only lasted half of forever.

    Thanks so much Don for commenting on Half of Forever! I like when other people feel what I write--especially when I write the ones on death or dieing. Lets me know that I still have what it takes to reach and touch people.

    Priscilla, I do write many love poems for my wife. I wonder how we ever made it 38 years. I love her dearly, but I don't how she ever puts up with me. Thanks so very much for your comment that lets me know that you know marriage isn't always a bed of roses for a couple to last that long in todays world is almost a miracle.
