6 feet

Today it hit home,

How you can be alive today

and tomorrow you are not.

How today I can feel your warm embrace

and get to only tell it as tales forever tomorrow.

How I can dial you today 

and start associating your name with the past tomorrow.

Today it hit home 

I was reminded, today you live

That today, you breathe.

I was reminded that this right now is all we've got,

that we are not promised any further acts.

I didn't get to say goodbye 

Guess we are out of time

I'm having conversations with you in my head

I don't know what that says about my mental state

I hope you are shining 

Cause you belong to the stars.
