it is gone
the days
the countdown
i never made it past 40
interesting enough
and it is gone
i had wondered
what it'd feel like
perhaps like a rising sun
or perhaps like a flower bloom
but never
this
never expected it to feel so good
i do not remember this
i wonder if i ever did
speak the language that so many speak
and i wonder if many actually do speak it
it is gone
and i made it
perhaps i had glimpsed it
just once
before
when
the
days
counted
but this
this
is something
that i could not have imagined
this is real
and i am here
and i can feel it
so much
that it almost overwhelmed me
and how did i not know this before?
and what changed?
how did this happen?
i can remember
the counting days
and i remember
the dark
and the bad
and it felt nothing like this
this...
this is like looking at forever
and how did i not see it?
my days are still counting
but never, never like before
it is gone
and my days have started
counting up.
