Keep Breathing

There are these rare moments in life that are true glimpses of a perfect world. Maybe that perfection lies on a mountain under falling stars in the night sky with the person you love. Maybe that perfection lies in one last sunrise over the ocean with your family before one sun set.

Maybe that perfection lies in every little moment that makes all the other moments worth living. They are the moments that stay with us. Even if the people who were with us in those moments move on, change or leave us for some reason, they are always with us too. And neither life (as we all live and move on) nor death (as we all will die) can take that from us, for the moments may be fleeting, but the feeling is forever.

Goodnight world. Keep us all safe tonight wrapped up in those wonderful moments with the ones we’ve loved and lost. They are forever a part of our hearts no matter how painful losing them may have been.

All we can do is keep breathing.
