you're alive, celebrate it.

We sat inhaling liquorice flavoured hookah in the dim lit bedroom, you wowed me with your great antics at making flawless circles with the hazy smoke. The clouded, musky room lowered my guard as I softly whispered my secret fears. I felt your hand grab mine, the fingers entwined tightly promising me silent promises for tomorrow. It's that moment when I realised that nothing is forever and it's NOW we should live for.

Daisy chains always leave me frustrated, the stained green refuses to wash away from my clothes but sitting in the sun, so carefree, so utterly freed from the ropes of responsibilities just made it all worthwhile. I just let my mind sit immobilised, basking the bluest skies this grey city has ever witnessed. It's that moment when I realised that nothing is forever and it's NOW we should live for.

Umbrellas are up as the world is once again watered by the Gardener in heaven, furrowed brows and stringy hair bring an image of misery to most, but I refuse to stay melancholic. Torrents of raindrops drip off my books, I hold on firmly to my bag determined not to let the pages feel the dampness in vain. I flit and dance to skirt away from passing cars mercilessly driving through puddles splashing us lowly pedestrians. Despite the city's collective groan, I smile at the fickle mood of the weather. It's that moment when I realised that nothing is forever and it's NOW we should live for.

I type til my fingers are raw, little bubbles of inspiration flow sporadically through my fingers. A little flicker of light tells me I'm running out of time, life trickles out of my laptop but my mind refuses to quit this stream of words. Letters formulate words which bring forth carelessly constructed sentences. It's that moment when I realised that nothing is forever and it's NOW we should live for.
