What Does Forever Mean?
by
Heather Nicole Luther
What does "forever" really mean?
‘Cause it can mean so many things.
Can it, in some ways, refer to all the
Happiness and sadness life brings?
Is "forever" talking about the things
That you’ll never forget about?
Is it kind of like the things you’ll
Always remember without a doubt?
Is it really defined when you say,
"You’ll forever be in my heart,
Because even though we’re not together,
We’re never far apart."
Can it also be described by saying,
"I will love you forever more,
Because I know that my life without you,
Would be a tremendous bore."
Is "forever" made understandable by saying,
"I thought his laughter would never fade,
But now that it slipped far from us,
I’ll forever miss the happiness he made."
From all the examples of "forever"
That I can recall,
I get the same impression that
All the good times always fall.
If "forever" really means
An everlasting time and without end,
Life would be so painful because
Your heart could never mend.
So, by the examples of "forever", it’s a
Concept that eats you deeper than the bone,
So if this is what "forever" is like,
I’d rather spend it alone.
