Forever

How many lifetimes,

And how many years

For someone to reach forever

Not clouded by any fear?

Do you have to be immortal

To live before it ends?

Or should we all die first,

Before infinity bends?

And now I'm asking you again,

Hoping you'd answer this time

But then there was your silence

Your breaths falling into rhymes,

And at that very moment,

I finally quite knew,

That forever is uncertain

But then, so are you

Yet, every second passing,

Each minute we spend here

Could live up to forever,

Through every smile and tear,

And now a new question

Came knocking on my head,

Could forever be a someone

Not a someday instead?

For if it truly is, I've found mine,

And I think he found his too,

For when he smiled, he said "I know now,"

"If there's forever, mine is YOU."
