Do you know
That feeling
When someone
Makes you laugh
So hard it hurts?
When your joy
Overflows,
Shaking your whole body
And the air
Right out of your lungs?
When the fun
Of the moment
Is too much
For expression,
And it hurts your chest?
I like that feeling,
When it hurts.
Not because it hurts,
But because I know
My joy is greater.
Do you think
That feeling—
When someone
Makes you laugh
So hard it hurts—
Do you think
That feeling
Is applicable to life?
That maybe joy is greater
When it hurts?
