The Truth About Forever

The truth about forever
Is that there is no truth at all
It was just a turn-a-phrase
That left me so enthralled

The truth is truly nothing but
A fictional fantasy one must learn
To believe in quixotic theories that
Like love, one must begin to yearn

For without that love there is no hope
And without aspiration one cannot thrive
Without an emotion so ardent and pure
I find it so difficult to feel alive

It’s sad but true, this lesson I’ve learned
About losing someone so close
Someone who said he’d be with me forever
Someone in whom I was so engrossed

The truth about forever
Is but a mere dream in my head
And all the longing I felt for you
Has left me hanging by a thread.
