Fleeting by Jared WinklerDo I want to live forever?
Yes
But there is no good without evil.
The world is only so beautiful
as the short time we can spend with it.
Let not "forever"
destroy these great moments.
I am not eternal.
Beauty is only beautiful
because
Beauty is fleeting. 10/05/2007 Author's Note: I don't know.
