If I had only known.
Forever had it’s limits.
Forever is not infinity.
Only a concept of man’s mental abyss!
Forever mere seconds,
Forever was now,
no future
no tomorrow
Just now....
If I had only known.
My lips would have stayed on yours a second longer.
Let the warmth of our hands joined linger for one more breath.
I would have felt one more beat of your heart.
Swam a second longer in your eyes.
Inhaled your soul a little deeper.
Cherished all these things for a split moment more.
If I had only known...
Forever was only now...then...

Forever? What's that?
Oh, how I know this feeling....if ONLY...
I should harden my heart!
Good work!
The last line is particularly strong. Please do note that the possessive "its" requires no apostrophe (damn the schoolmarm in me--apologies!).
