Love

"Surely, like in this picture book,

God will one day take us out of here!" My sister spoke, trying to uplift my spirit

I could only smile gently at that

"We aren't considered humans, so that's impossible..."

“One day we’ll surely cross over that hill, and on the other side, I want to dance with the fluffy sheep we’ll find there!” She spoke with a bright smile.
Not knowing how naive she was being.

I could only nod my head gently at that

“But that’s just a drawing on the wall you know…” I just couldn’t say it

It’s fine, it’s fine, even if we might be wrong, it’s fine, I just want to make you happy

It’s fine, it’s fine, if my dirty shirt becomes completely covered in flowers, it’s fine

At least I can be delivered from this Hellish place even if you're not by my side

It’s fine? Is it really OK? Is it truly fine that I am breathing this oxygen from across the wall when you're six feet under the ground suffocating?

It’s fine? Is it really OK? Is it really OK to bathe in the sun’s light for once when you cannot feel the warmth of the sun?

Is it fine that I am living on while you never once experienced friends' loves or the joys having a new child?

While saying I want to die, I'm still living this way

By living, you are hurting someone, you feeding me guilt

You, who are loved by no one, but me and your brother

Now what is left

is all the pain and regrets

But with you here in my heart,

I cannot help but just forget the small lovely memories we cherished

“'Til the next fateful meeting,

you will live on in my dreams…”

The smile of you, who flew out of this window and died,

I won't ever forget it

Not even tomorrow.

We are blessed with angels near for a short time.
"The smile of you, who flew out of this window and died,
I won't ever forget it
Not even tomorrow"
We must carry the kind words and remember the beautiful smiles. Sometimes this is all we have. Thank you for sharing the powerful and worthwhile words.
