The diamond pair.

Small
but proud
in a pair
as if mocking me

in a red box.
enveloped in brown
from the place
he was

there was once a promise
long time back
i was young
we were young

and here it was
fake
real
we had it both

It wouldn't last
the shine
they would fade
darken

It would last
not everlastingly
but it did
for some time
and that must count
It must.
