The Reason We Exist

The reason we exist

every single soul
perhaps we live to die
to give birth to a new life
to cherish it until
your final breath beholds
perhaps we were all given life
to find a single soul
that we love more than our own

when we die we say goodbye
but someday we will unite
even if your memory, erased
and your body, clean and pure again

then there you’ll find the meaning of your life
until that day you die
to leave memories behind you
if happy experiences are what you desire
the choice is in your hands

if you lived a happy life
you’ll leave no regrets behind
so when you are
reborn again 
you won’t pay the debts
for misusing the life you were given
