Drifting

Clinging to life
Praying unheard prayers
Fearful of what lies beyond
Whether it be hell or heaven
But accepting of the truth
Letting the burden of life slip away
Freedom, flying, bonds released
Free as a snowflake free falling
Savor it, you think
All good things must come to an end, you think
But it never stops, just flying
Free from wants and desires
This is what true happiness feels like, you think
As, you drift you began to feel lonely 
Longing for someone to love you.
Then she arrives
Confused, afraid
Then you see the bliss cross her face
You go to her and she looks at you 
Your loneliness dissolves 
and you exist eternally alongside each other.
