forever

is the word he said

on how long he would love me

forever

is a long time I said

asking if he was so certain

forever

is what he wanted

to have me in his life

forever

a word that sounded good

to my heart, I cannot life

forever

a promise made by another

I've been down this road before

forever

is what he wants to give me

who am I to turn that away
