Isn't it scary yet beautiful to know How something temporary Can make you feel so eternal? Like the day before it turns to night Or just before the moon leaves And makes way for the sunlight, When the sea kisses your skin To only recede but you will Open your arms again to let it in, People, not just leaves, fall And drop on their knees To yearn for spring's returning call, And from the time I loved you, Up till now I love you, And for who knows how long, I will love you.

the longest temporary
Isn't it scary yet beautiful to know How something temporary Can make you feel so eternal? Like the day before it turns to night Or just before the moon leaves And makes way for the sunlight, When the sea kisses your skin To only recede but you will Open your arms again to let it in, People, not just leaves, fall And drop on their knees To yearn for spring's returning call, And from the time I loved you, Up till now I love you, And for who knows how long, I will love you.
"Make it the longest temporary you can." One of the most powerful and best lines I have ever read, as said by my friend Zainab, 2016. Such an intriguing oxymoron that got me thinking about everything and everyone, especially you, wjh.
