60 Art Chapter: The Weight of Always

Be careful with the word always.

Always is not forever,
and forever is not eternal.

Always can end at any moment,
and that is what we forget
because of the magical spell of
“I will always love you”
or
“I will always be there for you.”

They are beautiful words,
some of the deepest ways
to express care,
loyalty,
and trust.

But after time has passed,
and you read them again,
they can become beautiful roses
with painful thorns.

So be careful with always.

Hearts heal by it,
and break by it too.
