Moments

One disappointment after another. Is it time to grow a thick skin?

That is inevitable, but for you there is a fundamental change as important as breathing air itself.

Live life for the moments.

That kiss, that hour passed by in the blink of an eye, those eyes as deep as ocean, the silly putty you. That one moment.

You look back on life one day as an old man. Nothing you did in your life matters, not your accomplishments.

You remember but your moments. 

Those people you shared them with. All the negative, all of their indifference now, all of their hatred if need be. None of those things they think of you matters. 

You only keep those memories. The most sweet, heart-warming ones when you are on earth smelling every blade of grass and taking every hint of perfection on this cloud with that person. If only for a little while.

That you keep close to you.
