Nothing Dies

At this time of year, nature is dead.

The trees have parted with their leaves

and the flowers no longer bloom;

then along comes spring,

restoring all beauty and life to the world.

Even people who have long since been buried in the ground,

stay alive in their loved ones hearts.

So don’t hide yourself away in your room

and act like you’re dying

because I can still see a lot of life in you.

Yes, you are hurting

and it seems like the end of the world as you know it;

you feel as though the depression is sucking the air out of your lungs.

But I can still see that sparkle in your eyes;

I can still feel your heart pumping when you lay your head on my chest.

So next time you feel as though there is no life left inside of you,

look outside at the withered trees

and the wilting plants

and remind yourself that nothing ever dies.

Not really.
