Forever Belong

He penned his note to the tune in his heart
Then quietly gathered his things to depart
From the one he had loved and wooed for so long
From the one he had vowed he would forever belong.

He slipped his note in the sweet dark night
Near the flickering ghost cast by a lamp’s broken light
To the one he had loved and wooed for so long
To the one he had vowed he would forever belong.

He stepped quickly and silently out of her life
Feeling the brokenness and pain strike like a knife
Because of the one he had loved and wooed for so long
Because of the one, he had vowed he would forever belong.

He started to hum the song that would always be theirs
Knowing it better to forget sad melodies too great to bear
Always remembering the one he had loved and wooed for so long
Always remembering the one, he had vowed to forever belong.
