forever is a funny thing

it's short

like an epiphany

or a split second of emotion

after the storm.


forever is a silly thing

because it's lasting

like a universe

or a love you swear you share

and die with.


forever is a curious thing

because it's both

like a piece of cake

or a gnawing hunger

you live with.


but the thing is

no matter what forever you get

you leave it behind

and eventually outgrow it

like a child's abandoned toys.


you can never be young forever.
