Eternity is a long time.

I hope there is no afterlife
 
At least none that lasts forever  
 
Which is silly in itself as time is a human construct and so is forever and infinity.
 
First digression....damn I'll try and stay on topic.
 
I hope there is no afterlife  
Where we get to spend forever with those we love.
 
Which is silly in itself as love is also a human construct .
 
Second digression....damn I'll try and stay on topic.
 
Three digressions and I'm out.
 
Some fabulous people I've met in my life.
Not least of them being my beautiful wife.
But to spend eternity within her sight
The thought of that keeps me awake at night.
 
So my hope for an afterlife is this.
 
When I die I get to spend some time and tears with those that mattered.....sounds lovely.
 
But not eternity....I couldn't love anyone that long.
