Forever Came Today

 

You said you'd love me forever
We would never part
I trusted you completely
Gave you my innocent heart

 

I was so happy here with you
 Thought you felt the same
I sang a song of love for you
Each time you said my name

 

Curled myself around you
When you were feeling low
 Played the clown for you
To make sad feelings go

 

I tried to show you
In every way I could
How much I loved you
And that I always would

 

Now I'm growing older
My body is aged and slow
I thought you would take care of me
And comfort me 'til I go

 

I remember what you promised
All we shared along the way
I thought forever was a long time
But forever came today

 

You said I was a problem now
Not the cat I used to be
So you took me to the shelter
And walked away from me
