“We use people
Whether we want to admit it or not.
We use people for moments
Or months
Or years.
It’s a selfish thing we do.
Telling someone
We ´ll love them forever.
Until that forever ends,
After however long.
You couldn’t have fathomed an end when you were with them,
And now u can’t imagine a world
In wich you’re still there.
Our forevers are so fleeting
They almost mean nothing.
so i stopped saying it.
It’s enough to say „Ily“,
And have it end there.
I won’t soil already perfect words with a time stamp.
Because even forever has an
Expiration date.
No always.
No forever.
Just now.”
