Lately, I've been thinking

That if I died yesterday 

Then I wouldn't be able to see

That today was a wonderful day 


I wouldn't be able to see the beautifully bloomed flowers,

My nephew that hasn't visited for a while,

The old lady that greeted me this morning,

Nor the kind stranger that asked if I was okay.


They were all such simple things

But my heart broke 

Since it's been a while 

When I heard those words


They made me realize

"Ah, I'm still here.

I'm still alive."


If I killed myself last night

Then I wouldn't have been able to hear those words

"How are you?"

"Good Morning."

"Are you okay?"


I couldn't care less if it was lie

Just hearing those words are enough

To encourage me, that maybe...

Just maybe

It will get better.


That tomorrow will be a good day to live

And that this moment could happen once more and when it does

I hope that it'll last a lifetime.
