How can I not love this world?
It’s hard sometimes,
A lot of the time,
To love the things that hurt me,
And the shallow depths,
And the things that took you away.
I love every moment that’s real,
When you still play on my mind
And with my heart.
How can I not love this world?
How can I hold back
My tears when they’re pure joy?
Even losing you –
How can I not love the world
When that’s where you are?
How can I not greet strangers
With a smile?
How can word get to you
That I’ve forgotten how to.
How can I forget
How much I love this world
Because of you.
