How long is forever

How long is forever

A Poem by Itumeleng Molokomme
"

When I write I write for people I love. I have a habit of writing for my boyfriend. this is one of the poems I've written for him. it came spontaneously to me and I jus flowed.

"
You say I'm crazy sometimes
Well here's a crazy idea
Let's put our love on a timer
Mmh... I know you probably wondering what's gotten into me this time
Well Its the feeling that makes me like your cold hands on my back
The one that shortens my breath
Did I ever tell you how my heart beats funny whenever I look you straight in the eye
Like it's as mesmerized as I am
Confused and dazed
I lie awake at night thinking of when our youth has left us
I imagine
Swinging beside you beneath a tree
Listening to melodies of laughter and voices from generations we have created
I hope you'll pull me from that swing so we can let the children within run free
And when dusk falls and the rooms clear
When our house is full of only our thoughts
I hope you'll sit down below my chair and rub my aching feet
Then I'll remind you of the first time you did that
The first time we met
And when I first said 'thank you'
And you'll probably say ' Babe I really don't know why I have such a short memory' forgetting it's been decades
Speaking of decades if you wish
I'll ask God to grant me that wish I made on our first shooting star
And I'll collect every last grain of sand from each shoreline and fill a giant hour glass jus to help you keep track
Now my crazy idea don't seem crazy anymore
So let's put our love on a timer
To see how long forever is
