Sometimes is fine.

But when you're sad just a little too long, you feel as if it's time to do something that you shouldn't do

or say something really dumb.

And be real nasty to yourself, and mean to the people you love.

Don't be so sad.

Things are fine.

It's ok.

I promise you all that life is beautiful.

We just need some reminders because we're forgetful.

Like birds and bees, summer cold treats, cloud watching, and cotton candy.

Nice texts from friends that we weren't expecting,

and catching your reflection, god damn, you're sexy.

Movies that feel like they read your mind.

Hot chocolate, capuccinos, lemonade, and wine.

The smell of new books, and laundry out the drier, and locking eyes with that cutie just as you walk by her,

or him.

Don't be so sad.

Things are fine.

It's ok.

I promise you all that life is beautiful.

You just need some reminders because you're forgetful.
