august is the one month of the year
where i feel both happiness and grief
in such a perfect and delicate balance
the date my dad bid farewell to this world
for eternal peace, and
my dearly departed nephew’s birthday
who perished in a car accident
one of my best ‘brothers’ birthday
of which i’d never trade that friendship
for all the riches in the world, and
my beautiful
time really does fly
flies by fast
so cherish every moment
like it’s your very last
love is such a simple notion,
but is so much more important
when it’s shared

(the things we think are so big are
really just so small in the
bigger scheme of it all)
