Without your tears

You will never have your laughter

Two sides of one coin

Without one, you lose the other

Can't you see?

Nemo saltat sobrius

(Sober men don not dance)

We need your passionate frenzies

heartfelt tears, and

real laughter

With blurry eyes

And stomach aches

Dum vivimus, vivamus

(while we live

let us live

to the fullest)

Your bliss is nothing

Merely sleepingwalking through

a minefield of emotion

That you were given a map for

'If only' and 'Maybe someday'

Are the most important phrases

We can ever utter

They keep us hoping

looking forward, and

living for another day
