Love…
…only exists in the present. What is behind is only a memory of what the contents of the heart were then. Love promised in the future at best is only a promise we hope to keep. “I love you” means “now”, at this instant, I am filled with feelings for you.

From the novel “Impulse” by American writer and poet Ellen Hopkins
Forever
has
no
meaning
when
you’re
living
in
the
moment.
