Dear Forever,

When I was young, I blindly believed you existed.

Marriage asked us to stay ‘until death do us part’.

But even shortly before my husband’s sudden death,

Things went wrong, love already had died in my heart.

Oooh, that undying love of my second marriage,

I saw you dancing around with sweet promises.

Dear Forever, how I had hopes and believed in you,

until there were no more hugs and no more kisses.

Show me now, vanishing friend, how I should trust

words of a man , promising me love and security.

Should I ignore doubt with a heart filled with fear,

when the man I love swears by your fidelity?

My heart believes him, and though you have failed me until today,

I’m on my knees, for heaven’s sake, I’m begging you this time to stay.

                                                           Sincerely yours,

                                                                     Pupa
