A battlefield

Love is like a battlefield

Where bleeding hearts are shed

Where camouflage hides the truth

Where lovers, like enemies, fight to their death.

Hearts, like raw wounds, exposed.

Beating, bleeding, aching…dying.

Forever

Forever is a long time.

I remember the hours we would spend together.

I remember the pointless things we used to do.

But it didn't matter because our friendship was forever.

Then I left for a while.

I thought our friendship could last the distance.

I thought it could last the time.

I thought we would be friends forever.

But alas!

Life has other plans.

Life pulls us into different directions.

Love has the last laugh.

And there you go

Walking down that aisle

Meeting your beautiful bride at the end.

Best friends forever.
