Forever is not a timeline. Forever is a feeling.
Forever is not reality. Forever is an ideal scenario. A figment of our imagination. A concept we cling on to.

It exists though, not as an entity on its own, but a subset of the subject.

Yes, not “happiness”. But “moments of happiness”. Not knowing how tomorrow might turn out to be.

Forever can be that moment. Once past, is history, not to be experienced again, and hence forever already in its own right.

Forever can be that split-second.

Forever can be those few minutes.

Forever can be a simple sentence: “Don’t shake your legs.” In the sincerest voice. By a person you might only meet once in your life.

Forever can be 51/2 years.

51/2 years can be forever.

You can be 51/2 years old forever.

For as long as it lasts, it is forever.

When you no longer cling on to “forever”.

Forever?

Forever…

or

Forever.

Forever does not have to last forever.
