Nothing lasts forever.

*written January 26, 1999

Nothing lasts forever, that's what everyone told me.
But when I fell in love with him, the truth I failed to see.

Nothing lasts forever, there's an end to every dream,
And when I woke up things were not as bright as they once seemed.

Nothing lasts forever, even true love fades away.
For long before forever came, he didn't choose to stay.

Nothing lasts forever, though I always thought love would.
For I could never save it, though I tried the best I could.

Nothing lasts forever, though we wish and hope and try.
We fools and dreamers in the end are often those who cry.

Nothing lasts forever, every story has an end.
And endings always leave us wounds that take so long to mend.

Nothing lasts forever, we have learned this from the past.
For romance is just fleeting, and love seldom ever lasts...
