My Life On Paper

Have You Ever: Seen Your Life Pass You By

Have you ever seen your life pass before your eyes?

All the lies, all the regrets spread out for you to see,

All the hidden truths dug up for you to finally face,

All the mistakes and failures,

All the precious moments you've taken for granted.

Everything you will never do flashes in front of you.

Then suddenly you have this feeling;

This unexplainable, inescapeable, and animalistic need to live, to survive just one more day.

To do all the things you haven't done; to sing your heart out and dance in the rain;

To tell everyone you love them just one more time, and to forget all your troubles;

To laugh until you can't breathe and to just relax.

You want to spend every dime you have, pig out on junk food,

And savor every moment like it was your last.

You think, "If only I had just one more chance,

One more chance to make every day the best day ever,

I would never take anything for granted again."
