Forever On Vacation
When they told me
You had gone away,
I didn't think they
Meant forever.
I thought you were
On vacation,
And was jealous you
Didn't bring me.
But even now that I
Understand what they said,
I still wish that I
Could have gone too.
Because this world is cruel,
And terrible,
And very, very mean.
Can't you have taken
Me with you?
