“Ah forever!” I said. “I have such a love of that word, forever.””Yes, it is a timeless word,” he said, raising his mossy eyebrows as he looked at me. “Time is ours, but forever belongs to God, don’t you think?”

“His reality was turned into dust the day it collided with her universe. For the first time, he wanted to get lost forever in a place that felt like a fairy tale where only she and he existed. And he never wanted to find his way back to reality anymore.”

“Who knew those detached wordscould conjure silent vows― flaming―fide et amor nothing lasts forever―”

“This is going to take forever.””I wouldn’t mind spending forever with you,” Zaid winked.”

“If I could, I would live forever in this moment. But no one can live in a moment, and time moves on.”

“You could lose the ones you loved in the blink of an eye—and he was willing to bet, when it happened, you weren’t thinking about all the reasons that could have kept you apart. You thought of all the reasons that kept you together. And, no doubt, how you wished you’d had more time. Even if you’d had centuries… When you were young, you thought time was a burden, something to be discharged as fast as possible so you could be grown-up. But it was such a bait-n-switch—when you were an adult, you came to realize that minutes and hours were the single most precious thing you had. No one got forever. And it was a fucking crime to waste what you were given.”

“Sometimes I feel like if you just watch things, just sit still and let the world exist in front of you – sometimes I swear that just for a second time freezes and the world pauses in its tilt. Just for a second. And if you somehow found a way to live in that second, then you would live forever.”

“You have filled my life with the warmth of your love. My heart, once frozen with betrayal, now beats only for you.”

“Love makes you do,the best of things.Love makes you do, the worst of things,It’s a feeling extreme,that doesn’t exist in between.”

“I have faced death this night, and I have called his bluff.”

“Believe in me and you shall die, forever.”

“You have to be very deep to be dead, he thought, and I’m not. He began to have some concept of forever, and his mind shivered as his body had when he had wakened in the cold nights and thrust his hands between his thighs to keep warm. It will be a long night, he thought.”

“For it is up to you and meto take solacein nostalgia’s armsand our abilityto create the everlastingfrom fleeting moments.”

“I will give you time—and then I will claim your forever.”
