I Couldn't Sleep Last Night

We're all seeking

for something meaningful,

but it's all fleeting

and sometimes forgettable.

Nothing lasts,

and we're filled with just

moments in the past

In time and space.
Where is our real place

in this meaningless world?

So I just try
and enjoy each minute,
cause we're all gunna die,
no matter how you spin it.

Let's make the most
of this time on earth.
Collect as many memories
as we can from birth.

Cause 'life is short'

and we don't have time
to sit around and dwell on
what was once mine.

But in all truth,
I miss him so dearly,
and him being around
is what let me see clearly.

See past all the strife,

and continually derive happiness
in this thing we call life,
in this petty, huge mess.

I can only hope
that I can still be strong,
but without him,

it feels like it's long gone.

Like my outlook on life

is somehow different,

but I'm just really hoping
that this was all meant

To teach me something,
make me a better person,
who can still find meaning
until my unavoidable end.
