I love the way life changes in the blink of an eye
I love how you could be here one second and then die
I love how the acid rears its ugly head in the back of your throat
I love when you walk into an empty house with just a floor bound note
How you stutter in shock over the whole situation.
How quickly you figure out your own designation.
How quickly a smile fades from someones face as they say goodbye
How slowly a tear drips down from a loved ones eye
The sweet irony of love, in all of its glorious presence and accustomed loss
The love of a lifetime, the price doesnt matter since there never is a cost.

I love how Id do it all over again in a heartbeat just to have the same result
I once feared love, as a bastard child seeking me out in a line up

How it ripped my wings off and made me grounded for months
How it felt when you got those butterflies or are those blue balls?
You know, its easy to be cynical about life today but it takes all the life out of it.
Live it, love it its all you got, they say
Thats bullshit, Love it then live it or lose it without knowing what you had
