This + That

I wouldn't ever let you die

I think you know that

I tell you all the time

I know you like this

You tell me...

All of this is fine

And I should grasp that

Because though heaven's where
you roam

You always pop home

You tell me no one understands
That death is living
That the loving never stops
Nor all the giving
You tell me sight is rather small
For those who breathe air
That death is just a change of form
Not worth a heart's care

You say you're with us all the time

And we should know that

Endings don't exist at all

And we should hold this

The body's just a grey old coat

And we outgrow that

I give your spirit cheek a kiss

Smile, say........... I know this.
