“Why can’t we last forever?”
The words echoed in my head
Launched from those full lips I could not ignore
And there I stood
Left speechless by a girl named Ever
She pushed me from lazy days to better ways
Helped me get up to speed and start to run
Not from fear but to purpose
To leap past walls and old wounds
Through her, I saw myself anew
That I could rise and perhaps even fly
I asked “What kind of girl are you?
The things you see in me…I’m not sure I see them too”.
Ever smiled as always
“The sky was meant for us to reach.
Either you rise like dough or fall like snow,
But you can pick where you want to go”.
Things are now looking green
Fresher, growing, changing,
inviting life into my world once filled with shadows.
It was a date
Some call it fate
But things are better
And it’s thanks to Ever
