said the transient to the wall.

By eidos






The way words look different on a computer screen.
That's how I look at you when you speak
in terms of forevers. Knowing that you haven't
understood the meaning of love or loss or life
in most of the forever that you have already lived.
And I see forever as a form of subjective
reasoning. So when you tell me that
you will love me forever. I can only assume
that you're speaking from the perspective
of a fly on the wall.

    The difference is sometimes between the mind of the person speaking and the one hearing. One persons forever is another's moment, and some live forever in a moment. I have those that I will love forever, though the emotion behind that love has peaks and valleys - XXOO Scholar
