Life Goes On

Sometimes there are days when the bright sunlight warms your heart

You feel like holding on to it forever as it tends to guide your path

And then again there are days of downpour; you see no vessel to escape

You feel your world closing in; you start to drown; you see nothing far and wide

The times you wake up to wet and salty eyes

There are longings for being held, for being told "I care"

You may dream of the best moments or live them – whichever you choose

But those will just be good memories to them and to you

People may come and go as they please, you know

But, who matters are the ones who stay behind, the ones of a different kind

Maybe not in person but forever in your heart

As said, the souls never really depart

What defines life may differ from me to you

But in the end, my friend, it's just a summation of two

And so, life GOES ON ...
