Transient 'Forever'

"I'll be here forever," they said,

But their words held a different thread,

Their definition of 'forever' in disguise,

A veil that masked their transient ties.

In their realm of fleeting days,

Time wove its intricate maze,

Their promises, like whispers lost,

Melting away, a bitter frost.

Their 'forever' painted with hasty strokes,

A fleeting flame that barely spoke,

Their presence, a passing breeze,

Leaving you grasping, begging please.

For you believed in an endless dance,

A bond that would forever enhance,

A love that echoed eternally,

Beyond the bounds of mortality.

Yet their 'forever' held a limited range,

A transient chapter, subject to change,

Their words now seem like hollow chants,

Promises broken, forever slants.

But fret not, dear heart, for your soul's not bound,

By those whose 'forever' quickly unwound,

For in your depths, true forever resides,

In the tapestry where your love abides.

Though others may falter and fade away,

Your forever blossoms, come what may,

It dwells in the fabric of your being,

A beacon of light, forever unseeing.

So cherish the moments, the love you hold,

The bonds that deepen, never grow old,

For your forever outshines the rest,

An eternal flame within your chest.

And when they've moved on, lost in time's flow,

Your forever will continue to glow,

A testament to the love you knew,

A definition crafted by only you.
