What Happened To Forever

You always told me you'd be there for me
Until the very end of time.
You told me nothing could separate us
Though I didn't understand
You said that someday I'd see.

There came a day when you had to leave
You left me on the porch screaming and crying.
I saw the pain in your eyes as you left
A couple months later I got the news
And it was something I couldn't believe.

To me you never admitted your fears
I couldn't see past your strength.
You always assured me you'd be back
And I never once doubted that.
But now who's to wipe away my tears?

What happened to forever?
We dreamed of growing old together
Now I'll be the only one doing so.
I can't handle the fact that you're gone
Love for me is no longer here.
What happened to forever?
