The Long Game

“Forever & always, yours.” I said.

“Forever and always, mine.” You agreed.

And after all this time, you know,

It’s something I still mean.


You may have changed your mind. Broke your promise. Said you lied.


But I’m not a liar. And I’m not a cheat. And you’re the only one who can make my life complete.


So I’ll keep on trying.

Keep fighting for you.

While you keep on lying.

And acting like you’re not you.


But don’t pretend we never happened.

Don’t pretend I wouldnt’ve stayed.

Don’t tell them that this wasn’t real.

You know you looked at me that way.


So don’t talk about me like that.

Don’t act like we were fake.

Don’t say you didn’t love me.

Or hide the memories we made.


And don’t you call me crazy.

Don’t act like I’m insane.

I said I’ll love you forever.

And my feelings, they remain.


And as your voice slowly leaves my brain,

And as you go and play your games,

There’s one sole thought that still remains.

I’m in it for the long game.
