This Will Last Forever

Quiet eyes that will not open to see the sunlight
of the first spring day,

sealed lips that will not open to say a prayer
after the last winter night-

this will not last forever.

Your heart stopped beating for me,
and their veins like the air immobile

by the window where we had
our chat-

this will not last forever.

I will see you again when your eyes open,
and I will fill it with all of me.

I will hear you again when your mouth opens,
and fill you with my kisses.

By Jehovah,
this will last forever.
