Forever

I wonder how the fairy tale ending

of happily forever

can ever be true?

With people changing…

Attitudes changing…

Can anything, any relationship

last forever?

But then, was it a lie?

No. it wasn’t.

Now when I come to think of it,

Forever… is not in the future,

neither is it in the past.

I think it is the moment,

that particular moment, when

you tell yourself ‘Pause life.’

You pause it for you know

moving further might ruin it!

Just before this, it wasn’t so beautiful either.

This is the moment. This is perfect.

This is forever.

Forever is that instance,

when you are aching with joy.

You know that it won’t repeat.

You know everything involved

will change.

You know that, recreating it

would be vain.

Yet that particular span remains

forever unchanged.

Glassed and protected,

in the safe of memory,

forever.

This alone can be forever.
