Back when 212

 Back when 

I was going to live

Forever

Death was always something 

That happen to others

But now those others are

People I grew up with

And that unbelievable truth

Has becoming clear

I will die in much less time

 Than I have live

So what is there to do about it

Be grateful, kind, compassionate,

Generous, curious and loving

All is well

 Back when 

I was going to live

Forever
