I Said Forever

If I said forever

Would you believe it
Could it be forever

Can there even be forever

Everything ends

Withers and dies

Falls to corruption

Fades to oblivion

I am earnest
I love deeply

It feels eternal

But it is only me

They say we are flawed

Created imperfect by

A perfectionist God

I do not feel defective

I feel uninformed

Misinformed

Curious

Contemplative

I will say forever

It may not be possible

In crushing

Uncaring reality

I will say forever
I will mean forever
You can understand forever
So for us, it is forever
