Forever

A dream a guy I was dating at the time had that I put into poetry

She stands there

Wind blowing through her hair

Under the old oak tree by the river

Dressed in white holding flowers in her hand

She stares out at the water with a sad look upon her face

She feels a presence beside her 

She thinks it could be just the wind

A part of her disagrees

Wishing what she felt was true

She isn't sure what to think anymore

She stands there silently crying

Not moving, she doesn't say a word

As she stares she whispers one word forever

Because that's what she promised him

She promised that she would always love him

She comes here once a year 

To throw flowers into the river

On what was supposed to be her wedding day

But the week before he drowned in the river

So instead of a happy occasion it's bitter tears

So young so beautiful yet so alone

The girl whose dream will never come true

She stands here alone at her solitary wedding.

She vowed to love him forever

That is one promise she will forever keep.

This is a very dynamic poem, written with a veracity of love that has passed...gone, but never to be forgotten. Very, very good and very well written
