{PLAY Lukas Graham's "7 Years" BEFORE YOU READ THIS!!!}

Beep..

Beep..

Beep.........................

I open my eyes, I'm not in the hospital.. or anywhere close. I'm laying on the outside area of the apartment building.

a slight breeze sweeps over my body. I look up and see a familiar face in the sky looking down at me.

It's me.

..

..

Once I was 7 years old..

The song starts in my head, and when I look up, I see myself, when I was very little going into the next grade, hugging my mum goodbye. Then a few years later, is me jumping off a big rock, laughing along with my brother.

I smile widely at my family and at that moment, I remember being so happy to have them. I don't recall what made me feel this way, but it was something huge.

I was a happy child.

It was a big, big world, but we thought we were bigger, pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker..

The next clip in the sky is me with my friends, always being myself around them and thinking, 'hey, maybe I don't have to act a certain way around them.'

Once I was 11 years old...

It's me looking at one of the girls at school, thinking we could get married someday. But she didn't love me back, so I ran home, crying.

But I was such a young boy.
..

..

I always had that dream like my daddy before me..

I look in the sky to the left, and there is me standing outside my window, trying to predict the weather, since my dream was to be a weather reporter. But after a while, I realized it was pointless...

Once I was 20 years old..My story got told..

To my right, is me 10 years ago.. in my first video on Youtube.. Me talking constantly about the useless things, but people enjoyed it so much and I never quite understood why.

It seems so long ago..

I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure..

Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major..

I got my boys with me, at least those in favor.

Instantly, Dan's face appears in the sky. His smile that reaches all the way to his eyes. The smile you know is real because of those crinkles by his eyes, and his cheeks highlighted with happiness. He always had that smile with me around, and at first, I never understood why.

Soon we'll be thirty years old..

In the sky, there is me on my 29th birthday, where everyone kept telling me that I was almost 30 years of age, and the dread followed me since then.

I've always had the feelings that I wanted to have  everything I ever dreamed of, and that there was still time to have it. But I realized you don't always get to do what you want and it takes time.

I've always wanted some things but knew that I would die before I got them.

I'm barely learning how to handle life and what it holds, but I never thought it would get this far.

I guess it just does.

But does it really have to?

..

...

Remember life and then your life becomes a better one.

I smile to myself.. don't know why.

..

I hope my children come and visit once or twice a month.

I see millions of fans in a huge crowd.

soon I'll be 60 years old.. Will I think the world is cold or will I have a lot of children who can bore me?

I see tons and thousands of fan's tweets in the sky, talking about the silly things. I laugh.

..

Soon I'll be 60 years old, will I think the world is cold? Or will I have a lot of children who can bore me?

In the final moments, I look back up again once more at the sky, and I see myself where I am now.

Laying on the cold ground, lifeless. My eyes have gotten darker, but open in shock.

Once I was seven years old... my mama told me, go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely.

So close..

Once I was 7 years old..

I chuckle, is this it?

..

Once I was 7 years old.

A bright light fills my vision, and the last thing I see is footsteps walking toward my lifeless body.

"Bye guys." I whisper.
