| Our December |
| by Audra Methvin |
There are those days or weeks
that seem to drag on forever
I had one of those once
and I called it Our December
A lot of things happened
and many things changed
all in that one month
Since then, we've never been the same
When I say we
I mean a young man I once called mine
we spent many months together
December was the very last time
Up until that point
I was the happiest I'd ever been
He seemed to have completed my life
and I the same for him
We had known each other a while;
for many years,
he was always just my friend
or so we wanted to appear
Eventually we became even closer
romantically involved
he was everything I'd ever wanted
I seemed to have it all
The weeks and months prior
just passed by in a blur
they were so incredible
but nothing like Our December
During that one simple month
there were so much tears and laughter
we went through so much then
but I never expected what happened after
Our romantic entanglement ended
and that pain wasn't easy at all
it lasted for so long you see
and it just came as a shock
Because I considered him my everything
I never thought I'd lose him
all my worst fears came true
and there was nothing I could do then
He was in love with someone else
a girl he once knew
it all just happened in slow motion
I didn't know what to do
But God had a purpose
for making Our December change
he knew it would hurt really bad
but it would help all the same
That young man had promised to never hurt me
and that he'd wait forever
that I would always be his baby-girl
but those promises faded in December
Our December lasted a lifetime
I wish I could have been spared the pain
Some things have to happen though
I just wouldn't want to go through it again
He said we still might have a future
but who knows if I can believe him
He still means the world to me
but I cant stand for my heart to be broken
I'll always think of that month
not only as the coldest winter
but also when you were last mine
and how it was Our December
