our forevers aren't the same

forever and always 

thats what we would say

but today is the day

that i knew they weren't the same

forever to you 

and forever to me

are like comparing 

purple to green

always to you 

and always to me

is like comparing 

a frog to a tree

mine is till the end of time

and yours is as fast as you can flip a dime

mine is the love i  once had for you

and yours was a s long as you had something to do

now that we established the difference

please don't bother to come near

because yes i did hold you dear

but now that i need you, you are not here

That is how it happens. Great piece and to prove it, I have to tell a story.

When I was very young and was married it ended in divorce, I survived of course but questioned why, how does it happen. I went to my dad who had been divorced before and said, tell me dad how did it happen to you.

He said, well son every time I said it was white, she said it was black and every time I said it was black, she said it was white. I got where I couldn't stand it anymore.

In all of history and all time no matter what the reason, that was the plain truth of the matter.

Thank you for indulging my memories of past lives.

Thanks for that wonderful story it shows that no matter how much you think you love someone it can all end over a lot of disagreements thank you so much for reading :)

While I think it lost its way towards the end - and how poetically fitting since 'they' did too.
Filled with bittersweet - penned in wonderfully philosophical ink and not bitter at all.
Congratulations on winning second prize with this one.
