today
was a good day
with good friends
and laughter
and song
and music.
and it just made me think
i need more good days
because
life is the veins just underneath your skin
so fragile
so vulnerable
one cut and it's over
life is a candle burning
one gust of wind and you are snuffed out
life is the thinnest most beautiful piece of glass
one bump and it's all gone
one moment in the wrong place at the wrong time
and you are forever gone
i live for the nights with the ones i love
with new friends and old
getting stick & poke tattoos on a sidewalk
singing together on a warm august evening
smelling cigarette smoke carried by the wind
seeing people you haven't seen in months
i could die in the next 10 minutes
so why aren't i spending more time having nights like that?
