Live, love, feel, see, be

You haven't lived
Unless you've laughed
With a stitch in your side.

You haven't lived
Unless you've dropped
And shattered a glass.

You haven't lived
Unless you've run
Quickly away from trouble.

You haven't lived
Unless you've cried
Till your eyes go dry.

You haven't lived
Unless you've felt
Your heart shatter into shards.

You haven't lived
Unless you've picked up
The pieces of sometime else's heart.

You haven't lived
Unless you've wiped
Someone else's tears.

You haven't lived
Unless you've calmed
So very many fears.

You haven't lived
Unless you've held
A shaking and scared hand.

You haven't lived
Unless you've kissed
With your eyes closed tight.

You haven't lived
Unless you've seen
A frown turn into a smile.

You haven't lived
Unless you've been
The one who understands.

You haven't lived
Unless you've hugged
With your heart upon your sleeve.

You haven't lived
Unless you've touched
A soul in desperate need.
