Life ends with new beginnings
We wander around searching for something that we think is lost
Until we realize it was inside of us all the while
We wonder how those before us survived
Until we realize it all had to do with time
We laugh at the weirdest moments, when no one else understands
Until we cross a path when
Life seems to end and begin all over again

We can see our souls as long as we look far and wide
Until we feel the presence of those we love and those we have lost
Then we know, what purpose we were born with and clarity shines through
Once more, life seems to end and begin all over again

No matter where we have been and where we are going
Whether we believe in our fate
Fate seems to live lurking all around us, on its own
Again, life seems to end and begin all over again
Then, a page turns
Showing me an invisible picture
Until,
I felt your presence
Which left me feeling warm and peaceful
Then,
I felt your soul
Which renewed my faith and happiness
And now,
I have felt your heart
Again, it seems like life will never stop beginning all over again.

If it is fate
Let it be fate,
I don’t know,
But it is these moments that are rare
Moments that are both irreplaceable and rememberable,
Just like friends
The kind that they make you feel more complete
Like, this is the essence to
Living.
