there's those little things
you know the one's i'm talking about,
that make life as special as it is

the smell of rain hitting the bruised and broken sidewalk
the feeling of sand grasping onto your vulnerable toes
the crunch of autumn leaves begging for forgiveness
the day you realize, hey
i really love myself today

the crackling orchestra of post-sunfall bonfires
the book you can never really find the time to put down
the tea that brings your world to peace
the cafe that always welcomes you with open arms

the feeling of hugging somebody you love with everything inside of you
the sunrise, that can just be seen over the forest of trees
the stars that shine brighter than an eternity of smiles

the feeling of your decadent sheets after a long and stressful day
the freedom that comes with driving destination-less
the comfort of your friends and family
and the warmth of your favourite blanket

the joy found in adventure
the sound of nature
the act of finding a mix tape that perfectly sums up your current emotions
the creativity found in the far corners of your mind

you see friends?
there's so many things we take for granted
so many things that make us happy
that pass us by each day
without even the slightest clue

sit back
relax
enjoy these little areas of life

for one day,
you may never be able to experience them again.
