Death is real, I promise
You don’t usually see it coming
And eventually you’ll have to stop pretending
that they’re just in the back room resting
Because when it happens to someone you love
You’ll feel their absence swifter than you felt
their presence
Death is real. I swear
Next thing you know you’ll have to find
something black to wear
And you just start wanting the same comfort
that you find in a stuffed bear
Death is real
It’s one of the few things that life absolutely
guarantees
And the sadness that takes place is so much
like a disease
But you no longer have their chicken vegetable
soup to get better
So you start wearing one of their favorite sweaters
Death is real
So don’t take life for granted
Do everything you have ever wanted
And never miss a chance for an I love you
Because you won’t have a clue
when you will feel these blues
Because death is real
