Only Here For a While

In this day and age, it's a rare occurrence To have feelings so deep that it hurts People are absorbed in their own little world Showing love, they often avert There's no greater feeling that's ever existed Than the love of another human being To be so infatuated that you can't think straight The feelings that make our hearts sing You can actually go through an entire lifetime And never know this feeling divine A glorious feeling of happiness and contentment It can only be described as sublime It can lift your spirits on the darkest of days It helps you get through life's storms A beacon of light through those overcast skies Nothing else can create such warmth So show your loved ones every single day They give us reason to smile This existence with all of its ups and downs We're all only here for a while
