is forever enough?
enough for me to waIt
just so that
i can finaLly memorise
all of the titles
of your favourite boOks
and know all the words to
your faVourite songs
by heart

is forEver enough?
enough for me to wait
just so that
i can finallY memorise
you
and all your fears and hOpes,
all your dreams and nightmares,
and everything in between

is forever enoUgh?
enough for me to wait
just so that
i can say
you’re the best thing
that’s ever been mine
20 seconds or 20 years
what is time, anyway, when I’m with you

but maybe…
we might not actually live forever
and in case that happens
and instead of waiting
I’d rather just say those three words
now.
