i know I'm human because

i laugh too hard

and i love too deep

and i cry when dogs die

and humans die

and hearts break

and for goodness sakes it hurts and it aches


it hurts

and it aches

i know I'm human because I just figured out that the reason leaves change in the fall is because they're dying



and nothing gold can stay

so neither can they

i think of you in colors that don't exist
