After Forever

The long kiss had finished but still we embraced,
love's giddiness filling our heads,
your gaze locked on mine then you spoke, soft and low,
“ I'll love you forever” you said.
But after forever came Bev and then Rachel,
and then Corrinne and Kirstie and Ruth,
also Lesley and Janet so it does seem to me that
forever is short, that's the truth.

A big smile for this one Viv. A very clever take on the theme, at least you remembered their names.
