the promise

in the woods in the sun,
life was perfect then.
the girls chosen
run around bathed in innocence
and the father was
just being him
the world paused, breathed
a sigh of relief
we didn't need signs,
we don't need signs

I pushed you on the swing.
your eyes looked back into mine
and when though my heart was someone else's
I caught your sign
I caught your sign
I felt the flame inside
I said a prayer and I cast my dice
the universe nodded to me in the sunshine

so much time has passed
since my hands rested on your back,
but I can't forget.
I wonder can you forget

can the universe forget?
