now to do almost everything you regrettably think you had the time to do earlier but don’t anymore.
Why didn’t you do it then? Because you told yourself, ‘it’s too late,’ just like you are doing now.-

The Difficulty of Being Good
Light fairies, black and white
Whisper in your ears
All that you could
All that you should
This heavy choice, my friend
Is the difficulty of being good
Paths meander, diverge and converge
At tiring testing crossroads
So often you have stood
Analysing every outcome’s likelihood
This enslaving freedom, my friend
Is the difficulty of being good
Your history, half-remembered and half-forgotten
You can't tell who you are
Hoping to be understood
You hide under your hood
This conflicted self, my friend
Is the difficulty of being good-

You quench my thirst.
You nourish me.
I can’t live without you.
But holding you together – that’s not easy. It’s only as attainable as the strength of the vessel and all that I’ve got are fragile. They break one by one. You spill and spread before my eyes. Like the destruction of horcruxes in small but painful blows, I lose you a little at a time.
You can’t water me. I can’t water you.

Sleep well.
After all, what’s life without missing a third of it?-
