NOTHING FOREVER
<p>They say that nothing lasts forever,</p><p>as if it was an accusation,</p><p>as if love had an expiration date</p><p>on the back of its neck.</p><p><br/></p><p>They say everything ends,</p><p>that nothing is eternal,</p><p>that flowers wilt,</p><p>that fame fades,</p><p>that photographs turn to dust,</p><p>that the most beautiful songs</p><p>become just noise.</p><p><br/></p><p>But you came,</p><p>and somehow, everything made sense</p><p>in the best way possible.</p><p><br/></p><p>Because with you,</p><p>nothing is velvet,</p><p>nothing is a champagne waterfall</p><p>on a golden mountain,</p><p>nothing is a midnight</p><p>filled with stars made of diamonds.</p><p><br/></p><p>Nothing with you is an empty room.</p><p><br/></p><p>It is a garden of roses</p><p>that bloom without asking why.</p><p>It is your name appearing on my phone</p><p>and my heart at the same time.</p><p>It is the silence that surrounds the world</p><p>when you laugh.</p><p><br/></p><p>To the love of my life,</p><p>they said that love is something</p><p>that cannot last forever,</p><p>that it is a lie,</p><p>that nothing is eternal.</p><p><br/></p><p>But what if we are the exception</p><p>that proves the rule?</p><p><br/></p><p>Let them have their forever.</p><p>Let them have their lies,</p><p>their stone tablets,</p><p>their ancient scrolls,</p><p>their boring monuments.</p><p><br/></p><p>I want stardust.</p><p>I want glitter in our footsteps.</p><p>I want something so bright</p><p>that it blinds those</p><p>who do not believe in love.</p><p><br/></p><p>Let us be the exception.</p><p>Let us be the rule-breaker.</p><p><br/></p><p>Let us be the fireworks</p><p>that no one can capture.</p><p>Let us be the song</p><p>that no one can sing.</p><p><br/></p><p>Let us be the aftermath</p><p>that no one cares to see.</p><p><br/></p><p>Let us be untouchable,</p><p>unforgettable,</p><p>unrepeatable.</p><p><br/></p><p>Let us be the constellation</p><p>that no one can chart.</p><p>Let us be the noise in the ears</p><p>of those who want to see us fail.</p><p><br/></p><p>Because with you,</p><p>nothing is empty.</p><p><br/></p><p>And that is what they do not understand.</p><p><br/></p><p>They said that nothing lasts forever,</p><p>but with you,</p><p>nothing will never be nothing.</p><p><br/></p><p>So let them say whatever they want.</p><p>Let the clocks tick.</p><p>Let the seasons change.</p><p>Let the world spin.</p><p><br/></p><p>If nothing lasts forever,</p><p>me and you</p><p>will be nothing forever.</p><p><br/></p><p>~ <em>Inspired by the song Flora my Flawa by Davido </em></p>
