Hey
Do you want to die?

Shall we do it together?
Some people will be sad
But people always find reasons to be sad
With or without us
They will cry, they will be angry, they will be lost
But soon, they will move on
Life always walks away from you in the end
The sky will never look bluer and the sun will never shine brighter
Memories will be forgotten and pictures will fade along
It will seem like you have never been there before
But, hey
Isn't it why you want to leave in the first place?

After all the pity party is over, let us be the ones that got away
We can soar through the sky
Float among the clouds and let the wind blow our hair dry
We can sing loudly,
Bravely.
Till our throats squeeze out the last of words
Leave us gasping for the last lost hopes

I will let you hold my hand.

We can visit the places you wanna go, laugh at people's weird quirks
Not condescendingly, of course
Just trying to be happy with the time we have
Or do not have
Whatever.
We can cry, if you want
All those pent up regrets and sorrow
Let it all out. I'll keep it for you
We can talk all night long under the stars
I will tell you my favorite colors and you have to tell me yours
Sheep are overrated
I'll let you drift to sleep while counting every grain of sand in the sea,
And I will make up stories for you to hear a thousand times over

I will even let you call me names.
We will make inside joke that is so complicated even we forget where it ends and how it began
I will fill your heart with joy so big you'll wish you had all the containers in the world to fill.
I will let you sit beside me,
And we will dream about how good life is and it will be my turn to cry
Because how I wish we still had lives to live
How I wish we still had the time to say things left unsaid and listen to souls left unloved
We do still have have time

You are alive

So please, live.
Because I want to make you glad that you are breathing
I want to whisper your name in the dark and hear you say mine back
I want to make inside jokes and laugh to your off-tune singing
I will count Pokemon for you because let's face it, sand is also overrated
I will let you hold my hand.
And my heart
And my hope
My dreams and my deepest dark secrets
Just handle them with care
I do not have enough band-aids with me
You know how it feels to not be able to mend a broken heart

I want to let you taste relief.
And haven't I promised to keep your burden for you
When dark days come and everything becomes a little too hard to bear?
I want to say I love you,
Not love like "kissing and cupids in the air",
But love like, "I'm going to hug you a lil bit tighter and a lil bit longer when you're blue."
Love from one lonely human being to another lovely human being
I want to say "hello" and "see you next time,"
Many times, over and over again,
Even if I do not know you
Yet.

Really

I want to wish you happiness
Because you deserve that
I will even give you my band-aids

So, hello.

And see you next time.
