real adventure

You know, everybody dies.

My parents died. Your father died. Everybody dies.

I'm going to die too. So will you.

The thing is, to have a life before we die.

It can be a real adventure 

having a life.

to know & to lose

We don't always have a choice how we get to know one another.

Sometimes, people fall into our lives cleanly --

as if out of the sky, 

or as if there were a direct flight from Heaven to Earth --

the same sudden way we lose people,

who once seemed they would always be 

part of our lives.
