life is split into chapters,

and i often wish it wasn't

i wish life was a book of one long continuous paragraph

one run-on sentence that fills up pages and pages

and the only ending being the period on the last

but i find that life is full of so many endings.

sun setting. leaves falling. cars driving away.

breakups. graduation. retirement.

why do endings even matter

if they mean other things are bound to begin

does it ever even give us closure

is it ever even satisfying

when we focus so much on the leaving

instead of the going to.
