I'm very glad
Very glad to be so temporary
It is my choice
Not to be temporary
But to be glad
Maybe not very
But glad all the same

Temporary is a way to describe it
Fated is another
Common
Like everyone
Born to a mother
The same entrance to life

Then some good
Some bad
Like everyone
Choices
Mistakes
But nothing is clear
Because it always changes

What should we do

Love someone
Before you get old
Before you think of the next place
Yes
Try love
Not just your children
Or your parents

Yes
Try love

It is just like life
Temporary
A fire inside
Desire
Then belief
Comfort
If you are lucky

But love is not always returned
Life is not always kind
In fact
Life is cruel if anything at all
It's just a state

Temporary

Not a thing
Not a memory
Not an emotion
Not consciousness

All of that is you

Life is just a way of describing it

Like temporary
A way to describe it

Yes I'm glad
That is my choice
Rational
In the madness
Grateful
In the tragedy
Settled
In the waiting

It's ok
It has to be
