Inside a Life

Every time I look into your eyes,

I realize:

Life is here.

That's why I have always loved looking at you the most.

Inside those eyes,

life is singing along to its go-to song,

life is chatting about its newly discovered hobby,

life is humming me the sweetest lullaby,

life is laughing at my silliest jokes.

Yet lately,

it hurts me the most to look into your eyes

and see how much

life is crying,

life is holding back,

life is crumbling.

But still,

I know everything will be alright.

Or at least, I pray it is so.

Because life is strong.

Because life is... life.
