Always or Forever?

always and forever

It may sound romantic but a person can't love someone "forever". However, if they put some effort into it, it may be possible to "always" love someone. We interchange the words "always" and "forever". But "always" means constant and unchanging. While "Forever" refer to infinity or time without end. I must confess "Always" and "forever" is a bit confusing In the present "Always" is constant but transform to a "forever" when intended for the future Yet hand in hand they go well together when you say, "My love for you is always and forever"

Those two words usually go together, especially when describing relationships. When you say always, you're saying forever as well. Those two words are powerful and meaningful.

Experience often turns us into cynics especially when previous relationships end up badly. But I'm a romantic optimist.

Forever and always also works.

It doesn’t matter they are just words. Why try to define one has more value over the other. You can say the same with unconditional love. Personally it’s whatever a person wants to say the mean they same to me.

Using the correct words matters. We like to think our words mean exactly what we say but sometimes our explicit message does not fully concur with our intention. However, this post is not about lexicology. The inquiry into the words "always" and "forever" provided a nice segue into my poem.

@josie_ actually writers will tell the way we use our words is actually what they mean. Word are words it’s in the context you places is how they are heard. Something like poetry or a song is based on your one individual interpretation of the words. I strongly suggested watching a show called Adman ruins everything they do one on words and grammar

If only we can live up to those ideals! For that, we need to reinvent ourselves and put love on board all the time in good times and bad. Maybe my love is more eternal.

@josie_ Life is not a bed of roses and couples are tested on their vows and resolve.

More likely wishful thinking on the part of those romantics.

While deeply in love we lose our rational thinking

That sounds romantic but it's only in the state of the mind.
