When you said forever,
Did you mean, till death do us part?
Or till your love fades away?
When you said you’ll be there,
Did you mean, always?
Or just when it suits you?
When you said we’ll make it,
Did you really mean it?
Or was it a little white lie?
All the promises we made,
Did you just change?
Or you’ve been a perfect liar all along?Β
Oh baby, please, enlighten me,
As I keep wondering on and on…
Sitting alone in our favorite park.

Forever is a myth.
To me, forever is as long as it lasts.
Beautiful post, Shreya.
Thank you so much Bharath… I still like to believe that forever is an enternity π€ͺπ₯°ππ
I wasnβt trying to make you believe in something that you donβt want to. Merely stating. π
I know!! β£οΈππ I was just telling you what I like to believe π
Hehe! Fine. You win. π
π€ͺβ£οΈ
Beautiful
Thank you Haroon! π
You are welcome

Like Bharath said, forever is a myth. We are just chapters in each otherβs stories. Besides, the promises we make are rarely kept.
Hey there. π

Well said… so many folks fling out promises, then rarely keep them. Better to make none and keep none, than to make tons, and keep none. ;))
So true!! β£οΈβ£οΈππ
Since “Spirited Soul” has recently and kindly “liked” my above comment (coincidentally, just after a comment discussion about promises on my own blog!), I will add that it’s something I learned about twenty-plus years ago, when I first truly tried to practice better “promise (and/or non-promise) practice” myself. ππππΌπΉ
(Sometimes I still fail, especially when it comes to minor things, and/or re: promises I make to myself — but I still try. ;))
Hugs to you, dear WildHeart, and thanks so much for your kind support of my whimsical rhymes. It’s been a pleasure getting to know your lovely poetry in return. ππβ£οΈππ
Thank you so much Lia. Indeed promises should be kept. π€π€π€ππππβ£οΈ
Hi, your poetry is soooo beautiful π I love it so much! Stay safe lovely!
Wonderful wonderful
Thank you so much π
Really don’t find anything that’s forever these days…
So true Harsh! Nothing is forever these days. π
Forever is a beautiful notion to comfort the heart. Sadly, its not practically applied in modern times. Yet its a glorious promise that can captivate anyone’s mind. For the heart always yearns for that kind of emotional security. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful post!
So true Sidharth! Thank you so much for reading this and sharing your insights on it. It’s so sad that nothing is permanent these days! πβ£οΈ
Nah nonsense from my boss is something that tragically seems like a permanent phenomenon. π So there are things that are permanent… Whether they may be desirable or not, that’s something which is debatable though. π
Haha! True! π π π π€ͺ
beautiful! i can really feel the hurt in your poem. its not easy to bring out emotion in our writing and I think you’ve done that here. well done! I enjoyed reading.
Thank you so much Christina β€οΈ I’m so glad you enjoyed this. I hope to keep creating posts that keeps you interested. Loads of love. ππ
So relatable. I loved it π
Thanks a million Rashmi πβ£οΈπ
Emotional and powerful. You share the pain of unkept promises so beautifully and openly. All we ask for is honesty, and yet it is so rarely what we get. A wonderful piece with great eloquence! Much love! β€
Thanks a million Brad. I’m so glad you liked this. π₯°πππππβ£οΈ Loads of love to you too π
Thank you, Shreya! π₯°πππ

Ah, the latter. Sorry about that. π

Thank you so much aarzu ππππ
You’re most welcome dear π€π
π€π€ππ
wow. people don’t realize love is such a powerful word. you should only say it when you mean it. #brokenhearts
So true!! Sadly people use it so randomly and selfishly. #brokenhearts
Once you feel the heartbreak, I don’t think you ever use is sparingly afterwards. . .
True πππ
Hope your broken hearts can heal
Thank you β£οΈ
