The Start of Forever

How did it happen
the start of forever
I closed my eyes
thinking of never

One at a time
my days passed me by
the past still with me
living the lie

It felt like a dream
I did not know why
I must be asleep
my eyes closed tight

I woke from my slumber
you lay by my side
a vision appeared
my eyes opened wide

As time passed by
I finally could see
that forever was real
it had started for me
