Forever

Chris Duffy


Forever.

I wanna stay here in this warm place forever. 
It’s just before too long, forever’s been and gone and I’m left here in the cold, forever.
We wait until our lives are almost gone.
We try to trace the path back to our home.

We’re holding on, hiding from the storm.
Turn off the lights and lock the door
Our troubles are no more.
Searching for that place we call “Forever.”

All our lives we chase it, the moments that we grasp.
We cling on and we face it, until our final gasp.
Searching for our destiny.
Too blind , too young to clearly see.
The place we long to be ……. Forever.

Left out in the cold 
Deranged and growing old 
Assumed that you and I would be together
I long to go back home, relax , unplug the phone. 
The thrill of life has gone for me……., Forever

Don't want to go out in the cold, nor be compliant in the zone
To bring the money home it seems the way that life has always been.
We chase a distant dream, that’s never what it seems, depicted on a TV screen……. Forever. 

We want to live forever and a day.
To capture it but then it runs away
We ‘re living the best way that we choose.
Time’s a gamble we were born to lose.
We.ll find a place where we can stay together.
Our love will be the place we call …….. Forever.

      Cheers Andy. I wish I could think of a witty response.

      Hope you’re well and it’s your round.

        Hesitate to make commentary here, Chris after your last entry disappeared so summarily....
