Sentiment

Oh sentient life

So quick to rise and fall

To grow and die

Oh fragile heart

Why are you

So quick to break

And ache

Oh quiet lover

So quick to greet and so slow to leave

But now gone, you linger somewhere

Between my lung and collarbone.

Oh come and go

Oh, come and go then,

Please don't stay if you're not here forever.

Oh, sweet sentiments

Apple afternoons at the table

A brush of a hand on a dusky summer night.

Oh, why tease me with eternal feelings

If you're only here but a brief moment.
