Soon enough,
I won't think about you
every single day.
And I may even forget
to mention your name
as I pray.
Soon enough,
I'll be able to survive
if someone manages
to steal you away.
And when the time comes,
we'll forget to tell each other
"Happy birthday".
And (hopefully)
soon enough,
I'll forget why I ever loved you
in the first place.
(But in the meantime)
soon enough
is a lifetime away.
