Forever

FOREVER - Written by Carroll Bryant

You say you will love me forever

How sweet

Forever is a very long time

What makes you think you will live that long?

What makes you think I will?

 

How can I even begin to describe my feelings for you?

They are as gentle as a summer breeze

More delicate than the fluff from a butterflies wings

 

Your words of forever worries me

Even scares me

Every time a girl said that to me

Things never exactly worked out

 

Do you understand what I am trying to say?

You say you do

You don’t

 

Do you?

 

Then comes the tenderness of your touch

Your kiss

The lips from Heaven

I sometimes feel them on my ear lobe

In the early morning  of the hours

Soft as a feather, they are

Sweeter than honey

They are

 

When you lay on top of me under the blankets

Gazing down like an angel

Smiling

Yes, like you are right now

It moves me inside

The core of my soul shakes with anticipation

Of what might come next

 

Forever?

This is what you say

This is what you promise

This will be what you break

 

Nothing lasts forever

Not even will the universe exist for so long

Just love me for the now

Forever is merely a wish that refuses to come true

Just love me for while you’re here

Forever is an illusion that kills magicians

Just love me for the moment

 

Forever is an old pair of socks with holes

 

Forever?

That’s a very, very long time

 

How sweet
