One Life

Everyone says we live one life

So we should say everything we want to say

If we want something to change,

Say something to help make it change.

If we miss someone,

Call them and tell them.

If we love someone,

Tell them.

But these people that say these things,

They mustn't have been hurt before.

Because my one life

It feels like separate lives put into one.

I have had the life of pure happiness and joy.

I have had the life of pure depression and misery.

I have had the life of loss and loneliness.

I have had all these lives in one month.

Just because I decided to tell someone I loved them.

I want to tell someone I love them now, once again.

But I'm afraid this life is not the right one.

I'm afraid that this life is not the right habitat for such love to flourish.

I'm afraid of having to live through multiple lives once again.

I'm afraid I won't be loved back in this life.

Do I really have only one life?

Do I really have to tell them now?
