Sometimes it takes a while to understand: months, years or a whole life.
Sometimes we've been so close to dying that it matters again to try.
I've known it from the start and I wrote too many stories about it.
But our life is and will always be the most precious thing we have.
It’s just too bad some can’t see that and believe they don’t belong here.
It is so sad to think that they take it for granted.
If they knew how hard it is to make it better no matter what,
They wouldn't go on ruining theirs so fast.
They would realize it’s too good to be wasted.

I think people don’t care anymore whether they live or not.
They just stick to habits and watch days passing by.
Maybe sometimes they’ll think they’re lucky to be alive.
Maybe someday they’ll know it’s the only thing left they've got.
