by M. Douglas Hoss
If both my eyes should glaze away
And my reality should sever,
Please do not think too ill of me,
I’m just dreaming of “forever”.
If I don’t hear the things you say
Or your remarks seem not so clever,
I’m not displeased with you at all,
I’m just longing for “forever”.
If touching me seems difficult
Or if it takes such endeavor,
It means I’m lost among those dreams
Which are my dear “forever”.
If all the love which I must give
Is meant for after ever,
I’m sure that one day I shall be
Well bound for my “forever”.
When all the force of my love goes
Returning here quite never,
At last, I’ve gone to be with she
Who is “my sweet forever”.
