How Long Is Your Always

You said you will love me....always Be there for me....always Cherish me...always How long is your always, my love? A moment An hour A day Just for this time While our bodies and souls are Intertwined? How long is your always, my love? A week A month A season A year While I’m still healthy and young Radiantly beautiful Smooth Flawless Not touched by age Not worn But voluptuous And appealing How long is your always, my love? A lifetime? Beyond? To Eternity? How long is your always, my love? Tell me… Explain it to me When you say You will love me always Is your always the same time period as mine? Search your heart Search it carefully Search it well to find the truth And if your heart answers in a whisper, "FOREVER and ALWAYS" Then you may claim me as yours…. ALWAYS! Eileen Manassian Ghali
