"We just had a near-life experience"

-Chuck Palahniuk

We almost really lived
Almost experienced
What life is really about:
Taking chances
And making statements
We almost
Made the most
Out of what were made of
Living outside the walls
Built around our hearts
Because this is
An amazing representation
Of dreams coming true
Of life running wild.
With reckless abandon
We almost
Made each other happy
Happy enough to make us
Leave a path
Instead of
Individually following
The ways we were on
Almost lived enough
To one day
Tell a notebook story
Enough to say
we really loved
Instead of trying to
And we really lived
Instead of buying past lovers rings
Who we aren't sure
Were made for
We opened our hearts door
And shut our minds
Exited ourselves
And entered each other
Followed a path
That lead us to one another
And we almost really lived
And tried and loved
Before we die
Looked at the answers
In the sky
And not the logic in our minds
Telling us that this step
Outside ourselves
Won't help
But
It won't hurt
Unless were in the dirt
And never did it
Never lived.
