Forever

Whenever someone promises me “forever”

my mind automatically wonders

where this “forever” ends.

Because every promise ever made to me was never kept

And the broken bonds never mend.

I wonder if I am a fool

for I keep all my promises

Or the world is way too cruel

for all my wishes.

When I promise to Stay

I stay no matter what may come and no matter what we may lose,

And I wish the world was not so confused…

Because to me “forever” means a bond beyond death and life

Not just a set of alphabets used to cover the lies.
