I can’t believe it’s all over now
My life has passed me by
And I wonder how
This is what I get for wanting
I’ll never do that again
The ticks of the clock haunting
And I wonder how
All I ever do and all I ever dream
Turns to dust in my hands
Or so it seems
Happiness is a false promise
Life is short and full of lies
But there are things I miss
No more comfort in your arms
Or your kiss
Life fades away
Soon to end
Then this all won’t matter
So why do we care?
Life slips away
Soon we end
And nothing will matter
So why do we care?

Aw, an existential quandry.. so well-written.. wish I could answer that for you, too, C.G.!
Always..

Dear J., I think these thoughts cross everybody's mind sooner or later, you have expressed them very well.

Why were we given the ability to care? Because it matters, I guess.

Love,
Margherita
