Forever

Forever 

I yearn to hold on to a forever that's true,

Though sunshine fades with dusk, and coffee's final sip anew.

Though rivers flow to the sea, and then their journey's done,

I seek something that will stay, a love that's never undone.

Let's compose a song that I can hum along,

A melody that I can record and replay all day strong.

Let's walk the shore, side by side, and leave our footprints deep,

A permanent mark that time won't erase, a love that forever will keep.

Let's break free from cages, and be birds that soar as one,

Together, forever, under the same sun.

I'll write a poem for you, where you'll forever stay,

A verse that time won't fade, a love that's here to stay.

Let's dance in the rain, wild and free,

So the rain remembers us, and our love forever will be.

Let's talk long into the night, so our names entwined will stay,

In the records of our hearts, forever, every single day.

Let's take a thousand pictures, to capture every smile,

So memories of our love will forever linger, all the while.

Let's spend a lazy Sunday, in each other's loving gaze,

So our love will forever be, in every moment, every phase.

Let's create a painting, with colors bright and bold,

So our love will forever shine, a masterpiece to behold.

What is it that will forever stay?

Perhaps the dreams we've written, in our hearts, every single day.

Let's meet at a crossroads, and search for a forever true,

And when we find it, let's hold on, and forever see it through.
