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.

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 |
