Centuries.

When you promise your life to someone else

Knowing that someday you will wither away

Become old as time and lay under the ground

And yet, you still devote your life to them

Even though there is no eternity in this life

Living as immortals seemed impossible

Until the future comes, we can be young again

But it would be forever, there is no end

As for now, if your beloved one had passed

You look back to your life and remember them

Even if the pain hurt as much as you loved

You were glad to know them that long

If only in this life, centuries could be possible

And we wouldn’t have to worry about growing old or dying

Just spend the rest of our immortal lives with that someone

Smile and laugh through it all

As if we got nothing to lose.

I wonder what centuries would be like

In the future, years from now.

But we don’t know when.
