Moving On

We stood out in the moonlight,
Gazing at stars.

It is peaceful and calm.
The stars shone brightly.

I felt a big, calloused hand
Wrap around my little one.

I looked up into my lover's eyes.
They sparkled brighter than the stars.

I smiled up at him,
And her kissed me.

We embraced each other tightly
And kissed under the heavens.

We broke apart slowly,
And he started speaking.

"I love you, baby.
For eternity, and a day."

His words, our words,
Melted my heart.

I smiled through the tears
And replied the only way I could.

"Forever and always, baby."
His smile dazzled me.

We leaned against each other.
Foreheads touching, breathes mingling.

Then I heard a noise
Coming from the woods.

The snap of a twig, crunching of leaves,
Lone footsteps.

I glanced towards the woods,
As did my lover.

"It's just an animal."
Was his excuse.

But I know it wasn't an animal.
I know who it was.

And I know I just broke his heart
And shattered his soul.

I know he loves me still.
I still love him as well.

Just not like that,
Not anymore.

I have moved on
With my life and my love.

He must as well,
Because this is just torture.

He can't live his life for me,
He has to live it for himself.

He has to move on,
Move on and be happy.

Because this is just torture,
for him and me.
