Why are you awake?


Because daddy wanted you to live
Mommy wanted you to love
Your siblings thought you words through out your life
Your exes kept your mind preoccupied
Your future lover is picture perfection in your mind,
And your future children are standing in a line.

why are you alive?

because
mommy and daddy love so much
gramma and gramppa approved and blessed them
uncles and aunties pleased with the love surrounding
sons and daughters too young to even walk
but some could hear them talk
nieces and nephews are so very confused
while they sip on a cup of honeydew

Why do you live?
Because I love you.

Thank you for writing this for me when I wrote that note at 3a.m. You've widened my perspective of a lot of things and I am grateful for all you've told me and I wish our bond would never break as the years go by.
For what holds together are the things that we can't speak of.

I love you too.
