Forevermore

we were in our prime
I just turned 28 she was 25
spent our days jogging in the park
working high end jobs
and exchanging small talk
I thought to myself
"why can't it be this way forever?"

a gypsy approached me the next day
she couldn't have been much pass 21
said "what you seek is in the potion"
then she handed me a bottle
soon after she disappeared

once at home
something told me to drink it
I gave some to my girlfriend
pouring it in her alcoholic beverage
I never lied to her before
but I didn't feel in the right state of mind

years went by
but we never grew old
we visited the arctic
made love in France
went to Tokyo for anime conventions
after a 100 years we felt we done it all
even seen our fair share of heartache
lost so many family, friends, pets

through it all we still had each other
kissing her felt like time never passed
as well as holding, and spending time
it was all so infinite
400, 500, 600 years
we saw a lot of craziness
but it was all outweighed by the love

then came a knock on our door
when I opened up it was that gypsy
she said did you have fun?
I was at a loss for words
she then handed me another bottle
said "the cure is within"

I showed it to my wife
we both smirked
right before throwing it in the trash
