The places humans go,
Oh where to?
I wan to know.

They run in circles
But never ask why.
They've become brittle
Over time.

And if they paused,
At least just to breathe.
Maybe death's claws,
Wouldn't be a thief.

Of the time they wasted
Chasing their tails.
Have they tasted
The wind at sail?

The places humans go,
Oh where to?
I wan to know.
I really thought we would last
More than eleven months.
I really thought we would spent
Two Valentine's Day together.

I never thought I would lust
Laughing, Talking, fighting,
Teasing, playing, scolding---
Being with him forever.

It ****** me off to think:
He won't be there when I...
And it ****** me off
And I won't lie:
I'll never be ready to say goodbye.

But then I remember, we did try.
The point of the wings meeting the sky,
Wasn't to merely reach for the sun.
Icarus just wanted to fly----
That's how the story really begun.

So when we say goodbye,
I will remember the times we said hi.
And not the times we will not---
I'll give it a shot.

language from stardust
loosened tongues on Earth
chattering like birds

a flock of Humans
a family of birds
silence in motion

twirling sunlight
a lovers Moon
the forever dream
