After and Forever, It's All the Same
The particulars aren’t that important, but let me ty to explain
The after is now, and forever hasn’t began
I recently met my twin and I saw when forever would begin
He is the flame in my life, after the darkness begins
He became my forever and the after has never been the same
After this life, after this world, after is after all over again
We are always in the now, for after shuttles the pain
So after is the now, after feels the pain, after brings it all home again
We live in it, we consume it, we hold it in our hands
After is the now, as it has already began
It’s that circular pattern, it’s the Yin, it’s the Yang
Forever is always to come, for it shall never be done
We hold it dear, we look past the now, we expect it to fulfill us somehow
So forever holds us captive, forever is the ‘then’, forever is the ‘come’…
For it never truly begins
My twin is forever mine, after & forever
My twin is after now and one day will be forever
After & forever began somehow
After & forever begins right now
Somehow in the beginning we twisted and twined
Like the ‘chicken or the egg’, it began in the now
