Forever

We will conquer that island in the sun;

I promise you a land of gentle embrace,

where the air is sweet with the scent of nature,

and the soft touch of spring greets us in our bed.

An open window will invite the roar of the sea,

calling us, ever calling,

until the day of our last sunset,

when we will finally heed its whispers.

Together, hand in hand,

we’ll vanish into the rumbling waves,

a fleeting dream lost to this world,

forever walking,

forever holding hands,

with infinite wonders

upon our path to behold.
