fullmoon (ＳＵＲＶＩＶＥ version)

Because we don't know when we will die
We get to think of life as an inexhaustible well
Yet everything happens only a certain number of times
And a very small number, really
How many more times will you remember
A certain afternoon of your childhood

Some afternoon that is so deeply a part of your being
That you can't even conceive your life without it?
Perhaps four or five times more
Perhaps not even that
How many more times will you watch the full moon rise?
Perhaps twenty, and yet it all seems limitless
