voicemail - whitney hanson lyrics

hi. i know you haven’t heard
from me in a while. sometimes i
get caught up in the whirlpool
that whispers “what’s the point?”
i’m only in my early twenties
but i’m already awfully
familiar with grief. so
familiar it feels as if i might
actually be built with it woven
into my foundation
this morning the sun crept over
the mountains after the coldest
part of the night and i am
reminded that nothing exists
without contrast
sound to silence, cold to
warmth, life to death. humor is
so often irony, love is just a
song about grief played in
reverse
i am convinced to care. to
really, deeply carе is to
choose to ache for something
to lеt it turn you upside down
and inside out, unravel your
insides and tie them into knots
again
to love is not an act of self*preservation
and if i had to tell you what
it means to be alive, i would
tell you how it feels to hold
contrast in my hands
to love without hesitation
though i know how this ends. to
water the flowers when i know
that they, like the rest of us
are equally destined for dust
to be wonderfully stubborn in
the face of a life that cannot
be rehe*rs*d. to hear the song
of grief and choose to play it
in reverse
so i guess that’s why i’m
calling. because something in
me is calling to, asking me to
go on wondering, loving, hoping
despite it all
so if you get this, if you’ve
been caught up in the whirlpool
if you can hear me, just know
that i am wishing the same for
you
that you can find a way to keep
planting flowers. and if it all
becomes too much, just know you
can give me a call
