If

If I had a year to live

I would not go to class again

I'd find a way that I could help

Without much knowledge, there and then

And if I had a month to live

I would not waste it on my phone

I'd hang out with those I could

Rather than just be alone

And if I had a week to live

I would not stay inside that much

I'd gaze up at the stars at night

Or lay beneath the sun's warm touch

And if I had a day to live

I would not be writing these words

I'd hold so close to those I love—

Hope people visit me in herds

...

I find it funny how I live 

Like time's a string to twist and bend

But if I knew when it'd run out

I'd stretch it to its painful end
