Forever

Forever isn’t very long In fact it’s short you see It lasted only seven years Then it was done for me That’s how long you loved me I thought it should be more But no it lasted seven years Yet you said forever more You found yourself another Was it forever with him too It seems to get even shorter This forever time with you This time a year it lasted Until you said goodbye His forever it was gone In the twinkling of an eye I’ll never use this word again Now I know how long it lasts Forever is not my future I’m leaving it in the past

From your poem it seems 'forever' gets shorter and shorter Robert - my 'forever' is currently 27 years so I'm doing pretty well:-) hugs Jan xx
