You see flaws in every face<br />If you look long enough.<br /><br />That’s why I’m so afraid<br />Of the word ‘forever’. <br /><br />Forever is long enough<br />For sunrises to become stale<br />For fire to become tame<br />For a favorite song<br />To become like nails<br />On a chalkboard;<br /><br />Forever is long enough<br />For passion to waste away<br />Like grapes into raisins<br />Under the beating sun<br />Of countless days.
