Forever, Indeed What Would Life Be?

If I could live forever, I would not be writing

this today. If I could live forever, more than

likely, I would wait another day to clean my

my place. There would always be tomorrow to

consider getting things done. If I could live

forever, I would wait another hundred years

or so until I matured enough to consider

marriage again. No birthday celebrations

would be a necessity for me. Children would

grow old and pass away, and I as Dorian Gray

would tediously remain the same. I would,

however, have endless time to bear as my

deeds would exceed my ability to recall the

ledgered plus and minuses of my existence.

And should you be the one leaving instead

of me, I should never find the need to say

goodbye. On second thought, I suppose today

is as good as any other to give this finite time

of mine one more shot, as I should probably

consider tidying myself up a bit...just in case.
