Always And Forever Poem by Shayna Butcher

I hate that you're locked up
On the inside
I can't begin to count
All the nights that I've cried
While on the outside
Is where I preside
But I know with us
Our love won't divide
I don't know how long
All of this will take
But this is our chance
To make or break
It's hard for me
To have fun at the lake
Without you there
My heart always aches.
Having fun without you
Brings me some guilt
But I can't be alone
I found friendships built.
I remember our first night
All thanks to the tilt
The first night you touched me
You made me wilt.
I remember your touch
Like it was moments ago
I can feel you still
From that night in frisco
I can still smell
Your sweet cologne
I hate being without you
I hate being alone
But I know we'll get through this
I can tell by your tone
I look forward all day
to your voice on the phone
but even though
this time is unknown
I know for sure
how much we have grown.
I know all this is for the better
But I can't help but cry
When I write you each letter
I can't really help it
I swear I'm not weak
I just really miss you
our bond is unique
people don't get it
they don't understand
if they haven't witnessed
our love firsthand.
They want me to leave you
They try to command
She's a detriment
Or so they demand.
But I'm strong with my love
So I take my stand
No one can tell me
That I'm banned.
I'll love you forever
my love won't fade
people may talk
but I'm not afraid
For a long time
we've had a flame of fire.
A metaphor of our hearts
Truest desire.
Throughout our many hurdles
Our strength I admire.
I'll love you
Forever and always
Our flame will be ablaze.
