"Infinity" What comes into your mind?

Some say they see gray hair, rocking chairs and old worn-out clothes.
Some would say they'd hear church bells, vows, they'd see rings.
Some say they see it through the eyes of a mother, conceiving an unborn child.
Some say they see it in stars, so wide, so vast, so distant, immeasurable. Too far.
Some see it in uncertain future time.

But when asked, "What do you see in infinity?"
I'd smile and answer.  

"I see cold coffees, I see dinner dates, I see your smile, I hear our laughs, I hear our favorite songs and I once again feel that impalpable comfort I find in your voice.
But,
I also hear your good-byes, I hear your costant apologies, I hear my muffled cries in the middle if the night and I see those unsent letters I should've given you a long, long time ago."

Sad but true. That's what I see. But maybe, that was our own infinity.

Maybe some infinities aren't just as beautiful and worth telling as others,

Maybe some infinites are larger than other infinities,

Maybe ours lingered on the corners of that restaurant where we met and stayed on that streetside where you left,

Maybe our infinity, ended a long time ago, long before we decided to let it go,

Maybe your infinity and mine meant to go on parallel lines,

But, maybe infinities aren't meant to last, cause maybe true infinity comes when you don't have to question "How long" but "How real"

Infinity is a beautiful and dangerous thing.
It is a gateway to imagination,
And a gateway to insanity.
Infinity is uncontrollable, swiping it’s infinitely large hand and causing infinite destruction in its path.

Infinity is mesmerizing,
Wondrous,
Torturous,
Infinity is far beyond humanity’s mental boundaries and brings a chaotic consumption of theories.

Infinity keeps us in line,
Like the infinite points of a circle,
Turning at every infinite angle.
In a cycle of exploration that is only so new.

Infinity is not the number or atoms in the universe,
Or any unit smaller than that.
We all know even that has an ending,
Unless the universe expands.

And if that were the case,
We would have to join hands with infinite knowledge.
But we know that’s impossible.
We are only at the edge of understanding its power.

So why should we even bother with the concept of infinity?
When it seems like a mere fantasy.
But to believe, you must have hope in the impossible,
Unless infinity is possible, but just far too much to handle
Believe in the impossible.
I just wrote this for fun. I wanted to get the importance and besuty of infinity across.
