even though

birds in your garden
are still tended to fly,

even though
you don't like their singing
in the morning.

people are still
going to die,

even though
you don't like the idea
of dying.

handsome boys
are still breaking your heart,

even though
 you've tried to love again
several times.

your mom
is still cooking your lunch,

even though
you are trying to lose
some weight.

and your favorite person
is still getting lost,

even though
you have to keep on
living.
