The Sandbox

We could've met when we were 2
In a sandbox at our neighborhood park
Or maybe when we were 7
In a school bus every morning, before our classes start

We couldve played together at 13
During one of our soccer games
Or maybe when we were 18 at a bar
When I came up to you and ask for your number and name

We couldve walked or passed by each other at 22
While we were in the university for college
Or at 27 at a nearby hospital
We were both sick, you had your vertigo I had my bandage

But it was that one special day when we were 29
You were there too when I decided to go online
The very first time we talked and when I saw you
I knew right away, you were the one I wanted to be mine

A year later, when I turned 30
From you, I received the best surprise of my life
A birthday party, just me and you
In our own virtual world with our laptops via Skype

At 31 together we saw the seasons change
Winter, spring, summer, fall,
A meteor shower
And non stop snow and rain

Another year has passed and I'm 32
But now I'm all alone
No longer with you

I never stopped thinking
What happened to us
What was real? What was true?

How could a love like ours
End so soon
Did I not wish hard enough
When I saw the brightest star right next to the moon

How was it possible that our forevermore had to end
When the world hasnt even given yet
Our perfect time, not even a chance
For our life together to begin

Now, February 22nd will just be another calendar day
No more Nutbrown Valentines, Easter
Birthdays and Christmas
None of our special holidays

I know I still have the rest of my life to live
Without you everyday it's so hard to breathe

They say that the circle of life is infinite
If that is true, in our next lifetime
Just know that in the sandbox
As promised, everyday for you I will wait
