Older

I don't understand 
How you never will get older 
How you will stay the same in my mind 
For the rest of time 

And I will continue to get older 
And I will soon 
One day grow old 
Without you 
And I would grow older 
And older with you 

And I still will never understand 
How I can get older 
Than you 
And you will stay the same 

And I'll look up into the sky 
Without you 
And I'll see the stars 
Spell out your name
The same way it would roll of my lips 
But now when I say it 
It sounds fake and untrue 

And every day 
I'll wonder to myself 
How is it fair 
That you would never grow older 
And we would never grow together 
And my kids would never know yours 
And my wife would never know yours 
And I'll live the rest of my life with you 
And maybe in the end 
My plans will lead me back to you

    what will we have left?



    people once before us–

  • down the street

    i walked down the street
    the streets i once used to know 
    filled with regrets and heavy with burdens 
    of what once happened here

    i walked down the street 
    a block or so down 

  • Dear god, am I real?

    I believe in god even though I may know he doesn’t exist

    I know the mountains were not formed by him

    Instead it is the science in the world

    The reason we are here in this moment
