How Long Is Forever

How long is forever?
How can it ever last?
How can we look so forward
Without looking at the past?

Does it bleed through day?
Does it weep at night?
Does it tear through emotion?
Does it really have much might?

I suppose it\'s real
Though I can never tell
They tell you they\'ll be there
And leave after the bell

Maybe it\'s the beauty
That\'s infinite in today
But their wisedom upholds all
And their exterior does decay

They say they will hold you
They say they\'ll never let go
You turn your back for a second
And they\'ve become someone you don\'t know

But how can there be forever?
If you just walk away?
Without even breathing a word
You just turn and leave me strayed

So until I find this \"forever\"
I will wander proudly alone
Never giving into this reality
Never having a proper home
