I hope you feel so to.","content":"I remember as teens, that we had met\n\nacross from the field we were forbidden to stray.\n\nEven as threats hung above our heads,\n\nThere was nothing that could keep us away.\n\nAs much of our hearts we had both devoted,\n\nto keep each other sheltered from their rain.\n\nThere was nothing to keep from scars from not healing.\n\nNo sort of medicine to stop such a pain.\n\nWe look into each others eyes,\n\nAnd all we'll find is a bottomless regret.\n\nOf the bonds and love that was once etched in stone.\n\nOf memories that neither of us can forget.\n\nAnd even as we both grew old and grey,\n\nNeither one of us once had the strength,\n\nto notice there was something wrong.\n\nWith all the promises we should have kept.\n\nI had always loved you so,\n\nWe were at each others sides,\n\nAnd when you took a step back\n\nI realised I had depression to hide.\n\nAs now I stand beside your grave,\n\nAlone and cold with a broken mind.\n\nI hope somewhere you will think of me,\n\nAnd eternal peace somewhere you will find...\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
