take your car keys and drive towards the nearest bridge park the car and walk to the edge gaze upon the river and take a deep breath try to let the air flood your lungs and the view fill your eyes try to let the afternoon sun warm up your cold skin try to let all your senses work as one in harmony walk closer to the edge to the very brim until there is no space left between now and then what would happen if you let go? what would happen if you gait to the void? would someone miss you? would you miss someone? think of all the things you should have said and done think of all the 'I love you' you left to be said all the I'll do it later when there's no more later to do it in that moment when everything feels wrong take a step further a step to your fate picture your world framed by that sun and keep it like there's no tomorrow to come remember your family remember your friends remember all the people you know and care about now go back to them go back and pretend this never happened put a smile in your face live one day after another pretending you never been in that bridge the air feels different now the landscape has more color and the sun shines warmer the smiles of your friends look more honest but they don't know what happened there they can suspect it maybe see it in your eyes but they don't know only you and you yourself knows what happened in the nearest bridge it's funny how something that happened only to you can change the perception you have about all the other things they look different but it wasn't they who changed it was you who grew

:: The Nearest Bridge ::
take your car keys and drive towards the nearest bridge park the car and walk to the edge gaze upon the river and take a deep breath try to let the air flood your lungs and the view fill your eyes try to let the afternoon sun warm up your cold skin try to let all your senses work as one in harmony walk closer to the edge to the very brim until there is no space left between now and then what would happen if you let go? what would happen if you gait to the void? would someone miss you? would you miss someone? think of all the things you should have said and done think of all the 'I love you' you left to be said all the I'll do it later when there's no more later to do it in that moment when everything feels wrong take a step further a step to your fate picture your world framed by that sun and keep it like there's no tomorrow to come remember your family remember your friends remember all the people you know and care about now go back to them go back and pretend this never happened put a smile in your face live one day after another pretending you never been in that bridge the air feels different now the landscape has more color and the sun shines warmer the smiles of your friends look more honest but they don't know what happened there they can suspect it maybe see it in your eyes but they don't know only you and you yourself knows what happened in the nearest bridge it's funny how something that happened only to you can change the perception you have about all the other things they look different but it wasn't they who changed it was you who grew
