Love Is Only Temporary

You can push as far as you wish

But in your heart you know well that this

is only for a moment

He can kiss you and say he’ll be there

But in time there will be a time that he won’t care

about what you had

I used to believe that I could make this last

But I know more than ever that the past

is what I’ll become

I’m not sure why this bothers me so

But I won’t lie to myself and say he doesn’t know

that he hurts me

I know when it happens I’ll be annihilated

but I have more pressing things to dread

than our love

because I know love is only temporary

it doesn’t quite seem as scary

as loving him forever
