There is something to be said about living in the moment
For holding on to the most vivid moments,
even knowing they won't last
In hope that those colors will take their time fading,
Even if in the end they disappear altogether
There is something about surrender
That is dangerous but essential;
If one wants to know what love can truly be
Hold this love close and give it all you have,
Feel every heartbeat and treasure every kiss
Because there will be a day that heart won't beat for you
And those lips won't speak to you
And it's better to live in those moments and feel them terrifyingly deeply
Than to let them pass and cry for not having truly loved at all
