Love is not forever,
Though it burns bright and true,
It flickers like a flame
And fades away from view.
The passion that we feel
May seem eternal and vast,
But time can dim its glow
And leave us in the past.
The promises we make
May hold weight for a while,
But circumstances change
And love can lose its style.
We long for something constant,
Something that will endure,
But love is not forever,
It's fragile and unsure.
Yet even though it fades,
It leaves a mark upon our heart,
A memory of the joy
That once set us apart.
So though love is not forever,
It's worth the risk we take,
For in its fleeting moments,
Our souls come alive and wake.
