I do not understand how we spend most of our days wanting to grow up,

because growing up means growing old

and I do dislike my life,

but to be quite honest I rather live,

so I can hear you laugh

and see that little spark in your eyes than die.

I don't know how – or why

but you somehow ease my suffering

and you ease the idea that someday we will all die

and none of this will matter

ever again.
