ThanksA Poem by SunnyThey were the sun and we needed them to live even though they could destroy everything in their path, They were the moon and we only saw the light side but we didn't care because they were pretty, They were the clouds and they watered us when we were down even though we never said "Hey, thanks for that," They were the stars and told us where to go when we were lost and alone and scared and just needed to be held, They were the trees and helped us "Relax," and, "breath," when we felt like we were suffocating, They were the earth and were grounded to the point where nothing could phase them despite the chaos of everything around them, They were the animals and the flowers and the comets and the dust and they helped us stay alive but we did nothing save thank for the things that they didn't give us and slowly kill them in return for all they've done, They were good to us they loved us scratch that they do love us... So why aren't we good to them? So why don't we love them? We need to love them. Love them like our mothers and fathers loved us. Love them like the sky will no longer be blue. Love them like the waves would stop crashing. Love them like you would stop breathing any moment and all that you needed was something to hold onto. The smallest something. They were the something and we held onto them like there was no tomorrow because without them there would be no tomorrow... Right? They were the promise that each day after today would still be there and if you feel like the next day won't be here then you need to fix something. You need to grab them and hold them the way they held you... And if the next day doesn't come that's okay. They needed to move on and you couldn't live without them so you moved on too. They were the lovers and no matter what you did it was okay. So you went with them... And that was okay. You were okay.. © 2016 SunnyAuthor's Note
