Hold on to that

 Some people in our lives are like rays of sunshine.

They bring us light during the day,

they put a smile on our faces.

Their beautiful words tuck us in during the night, 

And their sweet sound give us a good night  sleep.

Ooh, wait this is all a dream. 

In a blink of an eye people change and things change too.

I keep asking myself: 

Is there any secret order or code? 

To hold on to what we love and keep it forever? 

The pain is hard to endure.

I just can’t tear myself away

I never saw it coming but

Neither am I ready to let it go. 

We all have those broken dreams we are buried in

Unfulfilled plans, 

Trips, dinners, lunches, camping, hiking planned yet not done

Unloved love.

Unsaid words.

Unlived life.

It may just seem so easy, but

A bunch of small things make up big thing

And time is travelling

Waves are flooding the shores 

And we are missing out. 

So, what if:

We drink all these beers at maximum 

We dance until it hurts 

We get all those tattoos 

We go out till it’s late

We laugh out loud as long as we want until our ribs crack. 

We eat as much as we can

What if we live and enjoy the moment? 

What if we find happiness with what we have, with who we are, with whom we are together?

What if we live in moment and hold on to that?

Cause as it is said you don’t know the power of things until they are gone and you want them back.
