Ever

No, she won't forget, ever.

How he was the only, 
the only one for her
when everybody left,
litterally and metaphorically.

Throughout the dark night of her soul
when all light from her heart was gone
he was there...

Listening to painful confessions,
listening to rantings 
virtually wiping tears
encouraging baby steps
giving hope
giving love
teasing her
provoking her
challenging her
devoting his prescious time to her
tirelessly
relentlessly
saving her
in so many ways.

Saving her 
and in the process
falling in love himself
as much as she did fall in love with him.

Her sweet hero of a man.

Who never gave up on her
even at the times when she gave up on him.

But the truth is
neither of them ever gave up.

No, she won't forget, ever.
Ever....
