This Isn't About Forever

This Isn’t About Forever.

This isn’t about forever.

That will take care of itself.

This isn’t about a year or a month,

Even a week forms too big a frame

For the moment that I’d like to paint.

To be in another shared second

Completely engaged with you,

Would be more than enough to remind me what’s real

The connections I feel are stronger than steel

And these instants are held in my heart.

If I said I don’t dream of tomorrow

And wonder if I’ll see you there,

That wouldn’t be true and unfair on you

Not to know that I still feel the same

As I did the first time that we met.
