i wanna scream —
"stay"
"don't leave"
instead, you'll hear me saying —
"go for it"
"i'm excited for you"
and I mean it
although we may feel
every urge to hold on
we have to practice
this thing called surrender
we walk this earth
as mere borrowers —
of people, of time
we don't own anything
hence, we gotta
learn to share
or maybe
give back everything
completely
