How am I supposed to accept the fact that she's gone, when that's all the explanation she has given to me? And, How can she sleep at night knowing that I'm all alone with those words keeping me up at night?
In this limited life Spent on the pursuit of happiness And the discovery of oneself Maybe we have wasted too much time
Maybe we let the promise of happiness blind us And settled for temporary pleasures Maybe we let the fear of dying get to us And mistook comfort for bliss
Maybe we should’ve been living Not for the sake of just being alive Not for the sake of collecting memories and moments But for the sake of feeling alive and happy and content
Maybe we shouldn’t have ignored The throbbing feeling in our chests Maybe we shouldn’t have avoided The gut-wrenching decisions we had to make
Because in our evanescent lives We ignored the real things And chased after fake butterflies Even when we knew they were fake all along
And we tried so hard To mask our pain and melancholy With a stiff smile and a happy façade And we shouldn’t have
We thought we were living By avoiding the horrible parts of life And putting up a beautiful façade Of a life we didn’t allow ourselves to have
The overwhelming sadness that had covered my heart, that day it melted away into the summer sky. I am thankful for the hope, love & joy she has to impart to me, and the promise that she will never say *goodbye.
Everything must come to an end and so does the summer sky. Without a warning the clouds of fall began to cover this heart of mine and the sadness & darkness begins to creep back again.
