Live for the good ones.
Whether that be a good day, a good location, a good person…
Live for the good ones.
Live for the days where it feels like it’s you against the world,
For the times where you see the beauty in everything.
Live for that nice lady you see walking on the streets;
The one that smiles and waves at everyone she sees.
Live for the good ones.
Live for the mornings you wake up and hear the birds chirping,
And the sun shines in and blinds you.
Live for that person that makes your heart skip a beat;
The one that makes you feel nothing else matters, even if you haven’t met them yet.
Live for the good ones.
Live for the fresh smell of pancakes in the morning,
With your mom greeting you, coffee in hand.
Live for the fresh air in the springtime,
When the temperature gets warmer and all you can smell are the lilacs’ perfume.
Live for the good ones.
Live for the sunrises, the sunsets, time with family, time with friends.
The memories that last a lifetime,
The laughs that make your stomach hurt.
Live for the smell of rain before a storm,
and the rainbows that show off their beauty immediately after,
For the morning dew that makes the illusion of glitter on the grass,
Or the beauty of animals and birds singing their songs.
There’s beauty in everything, there is a positive in everything;
There is good in everything.
Live for the good ones;
Because if you don’t, you’ll miss all of the beauty that the world offers.
Live for the good ones;
Because in a blink of an eye, things can come to an end.
Live for the good ones;
Because the next day isn’t granted.
Live for the good ones;
Because life’s too short to look at the bad….
Live for the good ones.
