It's only forever
Is that too long?
That's all I need to
Finish the song

Time is illusion
It doesn't mean aught
When love comes to stay
Old battles are  fought

It's only eternal
Not long at all
To raise me to heaven
Before I would fall

Time is a fleeting
Make each moment last
Take hold of loving
Before it is past

It's only a lifetime
And then beyond
Spend it in loving
In building the bond

Time is a circle
It goes round and round
And love is the finger
To which time is bound

It's infinity learning
Not much at all
It's only forever
To answer love's call

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

The dicotomy of it knocks the breath out of me.  The reality...I'm trying to believe.  This, I understood, deeply.

beautiful thoughts...but I sometimes think it is forever that is the illusion, not time...I have time on my mind lately, maybe too much of it on my hands, also *s
