"a beautiful thing never gives so much pain as does failing to hear and see it."


so much

freedom gave us so much

priorities, necessity

and responsibility.

infatuation gave us so much

false lovers, true love

and heartbreak.

time gave us so much

on time, in time

and time for us.

lust gave us so much

stolen kisses, chocolate lips

and first mistakes.

but then, mistakes gave me so much

get up, look pretty

and just let go.

anger gave us so much

red eyes, swollen lips

and making up.

fear gave us so much

holding hands, letting go

and running ahead, never looking back.

the dark gave us so much

starry skies in july

and hidden tears.

youth gave us so much

sweet, sweet love

and the cold harsh truth.

life gave me so much

a chance to pick myself up

and a chance to exist

yet i gave up too much

and lost myself,

waiting for tomorrow to find me again.
