Nothing Lasts Forever
Nothing lasts forever; can that please include my pain?
I know it means the love we shared, my dreams that were in vain…
I hope it means the heartache that I can’t make go away-
Nothing lasts forever- but I love you every day.
Nothing lasts forever- but I tell that to my heart-
That still believes in fairy tales- that we could never part-
I try to make it listen, but I don’t know what to say…
Nothing lasts forever, but I love you every day.
Nothing lasts forever, even memories will fade-
At least that’s what they tell me, but I’m thinking I’m afraid-
My love is somehow different- never wavers- come what may…
Nothing lasts forever, but I love you every day.
Nothing lasts forever, but then- maybe I’m a fool.
It’s just my luck- for this I’m the exception to the rule-
I promised you forever, and for that I have to pay…
Nothing lasts forever, but I love you every day.

though sad because of the pain, still
you have found love, and it just might
last forever,so enjoy while you have it!

I really believe it too
but letting go is crucial to grow away from
"Nothing Lasts Forever"
but too...I cannot fathom how hard it is to let go
of a life partner either as so deeply expressed here
May Love's Bounties Embrace You

At 77 years of age, John, I've lived long enough to learn to embrace your title "Nothing Lasts Forever" and the content of your verses. But in my view--and that of several others, at least, here on Authors den--Love is one thing that may endure in the Evermore.
(I refer you to my recent poem, "I Sit Alone and Cry." And, also, to my article, "I Was Made for You.")
But in support of your stated philosophy, my wife has a little saying stuck to the side of our refrigerator: "This too shall pass."
So I guess it means either that we should appreciate more the good we have while we have it OR we can look forward to the bad we unfortunately own as passing on, soon.
As you can tell, I find your "Nothing Lasts Forever" a very fine work filled with insight and provocation.
