A rather heavy word to throw around
Don’t you think?
Forever is a mighty long time
And, yet
So often do we use the word that guarantees its permanence
For the smallest of things.
Though it’s hard to make a promise of any of these things
I can’t help but daydream about the promise of ‘always’ myself.
Maybe Izzy and Alex will always love each other
And she’ll always make him his beloved chigetti.
Maybe my mother will always be a stranger
And I’ll always wonder about her
Without getting solid answers to the questions I silently ask.
Maybe Todd and I will always fool around on the weekends
Without ever getting caught
Or getting hurt in any way.
Okay
I’m saying ‘yeah, right’ on that last one.
