ma, pa, x,

live longer, will you
live for the sunrises and sunsets
and all those storms and heartbreaks
live, i wanted to show you more
we’ll get out of this city, this island
let’s go and look out for more things pretty,
more things beautiful, more things painful
live, let’s breathe the universe in
and embrace everything, hands still tight,
and grasping onto one another, grasping into light,
grasping into hope.
