Take your time. Don't rush. Enjoy your life as much as you can.

You will wake up the day that you realize you are dying

That is only if you were sleeping before

You took your life for granted

Became bored of values, so to speak

And when you wake it will be too late

To grasp the last sun setting on your horizons

Your life will kiss you one last sad, sweet goodbye

So sorry that you weren't awake long enough to enjoy its beauty

For now it has grown old and meaningless, now that you are bound for another realm

Only now do you realize that you wasted something priceless

Constantly people around you were trying to wake you

But nor the coldest of water nor the bitterest of truths could make you see

You, as always, were content sleeping

It is impossible to wake from the dead if you are sleeping the whole time

By the time you wake up you will be dead again

Now you realize too late

As all of your most precious days fade away
