Forever February

what was, what is, what will always be

"Forever February"



Recalling my youthful sights, as it seems, you were seldom seen with me.

Yet, my heart's senior eye in these golden years can still see you with clarity.

When we kissed long ago under a magnificent magnolia tree,

I determined Valentine's Day for us was a time meant to be.

Winks, smiles, and promises of possibilities were made lovingly.

For all the special plans yet to make, we vowed not to tarry.

To my content, you whispered, "Sweetheart, we will always have February."

Then sudden proclamations came that you must leave, and alone roam free.

My heart broken, dreams dashed; a painful realization we'd not marry.

Sadly, as we parted, your last words were spoken hastily.

To my weeping, you whispered, "Sweetheart, we will always have February".
