Hi,

not sure I understood the concept of 永远 as a noun here.
we are forever friends would mean forever is used to describe the friendship therefore is an adjective.
Saying we are good friends of Forever, would mean we impersonate Forever (as if it would be a God) and we are friends of it…
Same comment for the second example where forever is actually an adverb for the verb love. And not that we love someone that would be called Forever.
Could you please elaborate and give more examples ?

Sorry for the confusion. In Chinese, noun (phrase) can be used to modify a noun (phrase) and can also be used to modify a verb (phrase). In these cases, a noun (phrase) is used as an attribute, or an adverbial, but it maintains as a noun (phrase).
