Heaven forgets hell

Do you ever wish that good bye
was something that only existed
in movies
And we'd laugh and be confused
because there has never been a
separation
from anything
or anyone
in our lives

And hello is where it stops and starts
There is no such thing as memory
because there is no need for it

We never lost touch
we continually experience anew

Maybe that's what heaven is like
Being with people you love
and never having to say goodbye

Is that what art is
is that why we can tear up
with sadness
Is that why I can feel lost
in a room full of people I know

Because an empty seat
is not the absence of a person
it is the reminder
of who should be there

I feel like I always end up
beside an empty seat
In the most crowded moments
