永遠に心の中に eien ni kokoro no naka ni Forever in My Heart

Forever, in the heart: the verb is left off, as it is in an English memorial notice. The sentence does not say whose heart, so it can hold one person's memory or a whole family's. Its twin, Forever in My Heart (eien ni watashi no kokoro ni), spells out my, and both forms are common in print. The earliest page with this one in the National Diet Library's full text is a report of 1927 in which a Sado Island teacher hopes a class motto will lodge forever in the pupils' hearts.

永遠に eien ni, forever; 私の watashi no, my; 心に kokoro ni, in the heart; a sentence with the verb left off. It keeps the my an English speaker will look for, and it is the older of the two forms in print: thirteen books in the National Diet Library's full text before 1946, the earliest from 1916. The version without my, Forever in My Heart (eien ni kokoro no naka ni), leaves whose heart open, and the two are about equally common.
