I knew I was going to die tonight.
I knew because I needed to feel the wind in my hair.
I needed to see the rain in the streetlights.
I remember falling.
I remember breathing so hard that the ground shook.
And I remember the look on their faces.
I'll never forget the eyes that told a life story in a split second.
I'll never forget the words that could crack a soul right in half.
I'll punch a hole through this god ****** real world if I have to.
I will dance like fire until everything is burned away.
Until there is nothing left.

And I'll dance with the breeze as it rushes around me.
I may look gone, but I will come back for you.
Either leave no one behind or don't go at all, that's what I say.
I wish more people understood that.
I wish more people could see the beautiful world I see.
And as I sit here pressing pen to paper, I have this feeling that no one ever will.
