I'm bambi. I'm bambi, George. If anyone in this situation is a sad little cartoon character, it's me. I'm alone in the forest, all alone in the forest. And my mother's been shot down by a hunter and where are you? Where the hell are you? - Izzie, Grey's Anatomy
I wanted all things to seem to make some sense,
So we could all be happy, yes, instead of tense.
And I made up lies, so
they all fit nice,
and I made this sad world
a paradise.
Nothing you can make that can't be made.
No one you can save that can't be saved.
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time.
It's easy.

It’s so hard to describe. It’s not like love at first sight, really. It’s more like…gravity moves. When you see her, suddenly it’s not the earth holding you here anymore. She does. And nothing matters more than her. And you would do anything for her, be anything for her…You become whatever she needs you to be, whether that’s a protector, or a lover, or a friend, or a brother.

You didn't love her. You just didn't want to be alone. Or maybe, maybe she was just good for your ego. Or, or maybe she made you feel better about your miserable life, but you didn't love her. because you don't destroy people you love.

I'm all out of faith, this is how I feel
Im cold and I am shamed lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed into something real
Im wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
You're a little late, Im already torn

for a kiss to be really good, you want it to mean something. you want it to be with someone you can't get out of your head, so that when your lips fi nally touch you feel it everywhere. a kiss so hot and so deep you never want to come up for air. you can't cheat your first kiss. trust me, you don't want to. because when you find that right person for a first kiss, it's everything.

I bet you didn't know that I am terrified of the dark, and every time I think of you, I smile. I bet you don't know that I hate thunderstorms but love dancing in the rain. Or how much I laugh with my friends & how much I truly enjoy being happy. I bet you don't know how many tears I've cried just for you, or how much I doubt myself every day. I bet you don't know how ticklish I am or how I can't make decisions. & How it drives me crazy when you look into my eyes. I bet you didn't know that I would do anything to be with you. But mostly I bet you didn't know how much I love you.
- Grey's Anatomy -
As I've grown, I've learned several things. Life is full of disappointments & people you trusted will sooner or later let you down. I've learned that often those you love will love someone else & there's only one way to fall; fast & hard. I've learned that out of thousands of smiles, it takes one to touch your heart. I've found that words can be deceiving, but the truth always lies in a person's eyes. I've learned that everything can change in the blink of an eye & tears often come without invitation. I've learned crying can make us stronger & there is never too much love to go around. I've learned that prejudice helps no one & that weapons don't hurt people, people hurt people. I've learned sticks & stones may leave cuts and bruises but harsh words leave scars. I've found that every time you give someone a piece of your heart, it's a piece that you will never get back. I've learned the past is meant to be put behind us & we can't dwell on regrets, for what's done is done. I've learned that trusting yourself is the first step & that forgiving is remembering that helps your own heart more then theirs. I've found that family isn't always blood & everyone is someone's hero. I've learned life is unexpected & t hat God can do anything. I've learned some things aren't meant to be understood & that only time heals. I've found that imagination is our greatest gift & that we are meant to dream for a reason. I've learned it is never too late to fall in love & that being "beautiful" is all on the inside. Mistakes are our best teachers & everything happens for a reason. Only then can you live life to it's full & true potential.
Feelings are much like waves, we can't stop them from coming but we can choose which one to surf.

Leave without a note. Follow your internal compass.
Wear what you slept in. Sleep in what you`re wearing.
Use SPF. Listen to the ocean ;; but don`t take it`s advice

summertime, i think, is a collective unconscious.
we all remember the notes that made up the song of the icecream man;
we all know what it feels like to brand our thighs
on a playground seat that's heated up like a knife in a fire;
we all have laid on our backs with our eyes closed
and our hearts beating across the surface of our lids,
hoping that this day will stretch just a little longer than the last one,
when in fact it's all going in the other direction
- my sisters keeper
NEVER DRINK DIET SODA.
It shows you have no nerve. Only
drink real colas, caffeine-packed energy
drinks, or Vitamin Water. Hate champagne,
because that's what everyone expects you
to love. Energy drinks are the best party
drinks. You never get tired. You never
have a hangover. And you can make fun of
all the loaded people who think they're clever
but are really acting stupid.

At the end of the day, there are some things you just can't help but talk about.
Some things we just don't want to hear, and some things we say because we
can't be silent any longer. Some things are more than what you say, they're what
you do. Some things you say cause there's no other choice. Some things you
keep to yourself . And not too often, but every now and then,
some things simply speak for themselves.

Is it still me that makes you sweat?
Am I who you think about in bed?
When the lights are dim and your hands
are shaking as you're sliding off your dress?
Then think of what you did
And how I hope to God he was worth it.When the lights are dim and your heart
is racing as your fingers touch his skin.
I've got more wit, a better kiss, a hotter touch, a better fuck
Than any boy you'll ever meet, sweetie you had me.
Girl I was it, look past the sweat, a better love deserving of
Exchanging body heat in the passenger seat
No, no, no, you know it will always just be me.

When there's something you really want, fight for it. don't give up, no matter how hopeless it seems. And when you've lost hope, ask yourself if ten years from now, you're gonna wish you gave it just one more shot. Because the best things in life, they don't come free.

Hey girls, you're beautiful. Don't look at those stupid
magazines with stick like models. Eat healthy & exercise.
That's all. Don't let anyone tell you you're not good enough.
You are good enough; you are too good. Love your
family with all your heart & listen to it. You are gorgeous,
whether you're a size 3 or a size 14. It doesn't matter
what you look like on the outside, as long as you're
a good person; as long as you respect others.
I know it's been told hundreds of times
before, but it's true.

No matter how hard we try to ignore or deny it, eventually the lies fall away, whether we like it or not. But here's the truth about the truth: it hurts. So we lie.

He reached for her hand. "I don't want to lose you."
His voice was almost in a whisper. She could feel the tears again,
and she fought them back. "But you don't want to keep me either, do you?"
To that, he had no response.
[The Rescue by Nicholas Sparks]
And after a while you learn that you don't need anyone else in order to survive.

| wow, nothing? that's lovely. whatever.
Maybe your history just repeats and repeats until it batters you enough to snap the seams that hold you together.
Give me one, cause one is best. and in confusion, give me confidence
Give me peace of mind and trust and don't forget the rest of us.
Give me strength, reserve control,
Give me heart and give me soul.
This could break my heart or save me. Nothing's real until you let go completely. So here I go with all my thoughts I've been saving. So here I go with all my fears weighing on me.
she was the girl who never broke, never cried.
she was always
nothing could tear her down.
but the tears come so easily to her now.
they fall like the raindrops of a mid-summer's storm.
it's all coming clean.
maybe it's good to cry.
it's better than feeling nothing at all.
and even though she cries, she will never give in.
We have to support the next group of leaders. We can't hold them to task to make all of this go away. It's not going to.
-- Eddie Vedder –
He asked, "are you sad?" & she was quiet, hesitant, unlike herself ; until she shakily nodded her head, "yes". & he said nothing, but ran his hands up her back, turned her face to him, pressing his nose against hers ; looking softly, hardly breathing, understanding, not knowing, not even loving, just comprehension, comprehension of what she needed. The hands that brushed her spine & the hair out of her face, the pressure of his body & the face that just then, he was her friend. & she felt more then his skin & he, more then hers, & he held her like he held the world.
well you might hide behind your computer screen. & I might hide behind my music, & she might hide behind her sports. but the truth of it is, we all have something that we're hiding. & maybe we should stop running for cover, cause what might
happen when those things can't defend us anymore?
Did you ever see a robin weep when leaves begin to die? Like me, he's lost the will to live, I'm so lonesome, I could cry.
But you don't work here anymore. It's just a vacant three by four, and they might fill your place. A temporary stand-in for your face. This happens all the time, and I can't help but think I'll die alone.
expecting it all to go away, but it won't, and so
you lie awake at night and breathe in a shallow
sigh of despair. one thing that you'll learn to hear
is the frank and deafening sound of people as
they come too near the fractious point of tears.
"And then I felt sad because I realized that once people are broken in certain ways, they can't ever be fixed, and this is something nobody ever tells you when you are young and it never fails to surprise you as you grow older and you see the people in your life break one by one. You wonder when your turn is going to be, or if it's already happened."
One of the hardest things in life
is having words in your heart
that you cannot even explain.
a hug can turn your day around. it's like an emotional heimlich. someone puts their arms around you, and they give you a slight squeeze. and all of your fear and anxiety comes shooting out of your mouth. and you can finally breathe again
i'm not miserable, but i'm not happy.
i'm not strong, but i'm not weak.
i'm not rude, but i'm not polite.
i'm not popular, but i'm not a loner.
i'm not sexy, but i'm not horrid.
i'm not dumb, but i'm no genius.
i'm not you, but i am me. accept it.
sometimes it seems like you’re the only one in the world who’s struggling, who’s frustrated, unsatisfied, barely getting by. but that feeling’s a lie. and if you just hold on, just find the courage to face it all for another day, someone or something will find you and make it all okay. because we all need is a little help sometimes. someone to help us hear the music in the world, to remind us that it won’t always be this way.
we are all a little damaged. some of us hide it
better than others, but on some level we are
all torn up. we take it out on others and beat
through life carrying it all and we will end up
damaging someone else and most of the time
we wont even notice or bother to care, because
we are busy with our little disaster that we call life.
i'm at the point in my life where things are neither good
or bad. they could be better, but they could be worse
and i can't look at anything with a purely pessimistic or
optimistic point of view. it's that point in life where you just
have to forge foward and hope for the best. you keep your
fingers crossed in hopes that someday catching that happiness
you tried so hard to hold in your grasp. that's the thing about
happiness, it is fleeting. like that firefly you try to capture and
no matter how many times you waver, try to clasp it in your
hands, but it never wants to be kept. keep one foot in front
of the other and move along, because someday that
firefly will find it's way back to you.

| Music is what I always turn to when I’m feeling a certain way. It’s my reason for everything.
-- Josh Groban
Music can lift us out of depression or move us to tears – it is a remedy, a tonic, orange juice for the ear. But for many of my neurological patients, music is even more – it can provide access, even when no medication can, to movement, to speech, to life. For them, music is not a luxury, but a necessity.
-- Oliver Sacks
People often ask me if it is worth it to work at sea, isolated from the world, far from loved ones, seasick, and running on three hours sleep. To lay eyes on something never before seen by anyone, to learn something new about our planet, for that one moment of discovery – yes, it is all worth it.
-- Katy Croff
Childhood is a strange country. It’s a place you come from or go to – at least in your mind. For me it has an endless, spellbound something in it that feels remote. It’s like a little sealed-vault country of cake breath and grass stains where what you do instead of work is spin until you’re dizzy.
-- Lyall Bush
You simply can’t make someone love you if they don’t. You must choose someone who already loves you. If you choose someone who does not love you, this is the sort of love you must want.

Have you noticed that dogs are the new kids? You take a walk with your kid and your dog, but nobody says, “What a cute kid!” Instead they say, “What a cute dog! What’s his name? Is he a rescue?” Maybe if I put a collar and leash on my kid someone will notice her.

If you're looking for youth, you're looking for longevity, just take a dose of rock and roll. It keeps you going. Just like the caffeine in your coffee. Rock and roll is good for the soul, for the well being, for the psyche, for your everything. I love it. I can't even picture being without rock and roll.
My father says that almost the whole world is asleep. Everybody you know. Everybody you see. Everybody you talk to. He says that only a few people are awake and they live in a state of constant total amazement.
guess it's gonna have to hurt. I guess I'm gonna
have to cry and let go of some of the things I love
to get to the other side. I guess it's gonna break
me down, like falling when you're trying to fly. It's
sad but sometimes moving on with the rest of
your life starts with goodbye.
Nothing is permanent in this wicked world,
not even our troubles.

I don't mean to scare you but I have not been sleeping lately, and phone calls aren't doing much to help. So if it's all the same, I'd just ask to never offer another explanation or excuse again. We'll make-believe that everyday we make our lives seem like there's too much living. But we find out in the end it's only us we've been kidding.
"Music comes first. Lyrics are secondary... Most of my lyrics are contradictions. I'll write a few sincere lines and then I'll have to make fun of it. I don't like to make it too obvious because if it is too obvious it gets really stale. You shouldn't be in people's faces 100% all the time. We don't mean to be really cryptic or mysterious but I just think that lyrics that are different and weird and spacey paint a nice picture. It's just the way I like art.
"it's just one of those days," she said. "the day when the sun is shining, and the sky is blue and the birds are singing, but you sit in your room with the music on and blinds closed waiting for something or someone to help you out of the dark. usually they don't come and you're left to pull yourself out." he looked her straight in the eye and said, "i'll pull you out onto the roof and we can burn in the sunlight together."
in the space between yes and no, there's a lifetime. it's the difference between the path you walk and the one you leave behind. it's the gap between who you thought you could be and who you really are. it's the legroom for the lies you'll tell yourself in the future.

The lights are on but nobody's home. My elevator doesn't go to the top. I'm not playing with a full deck, I've lost my marbles. I'm a few bricks short of a load but a full load always hurts my back. I flew over the cuckoo's nest and I'm never ever coming back because I am crazy, just like you.
The process of growing up is nothing more than figuring out
what doors hadn't yet been slammed in your face.
For years, her own parents told her that
she could be anything, have anything, do anything.
That's why she was so eager to grow up, until she got to adolescence
and hit a big, fat wall of reality.
As it turned out, she couldn't have anything she wanted.
You didn't get to be pretty or smart or popular just because you wanted it.
You didn't control your own destiny,
you were too busy trying to fit in.
Come on love, run with me. Get the hell out of this town so we can get a better feel for each other. I'll take you, back to, when you remembered how you used to - just live your life a little for me. Take the time to let it go, step away and watch me grow. - "Beauty in the Breakdown" by The Scene Aesthetic
"Among other things, you'll find that you're not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behavior. You're by no means alone on that score, you'll be excited and stimulated to know. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You'll learn from them - if you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It's a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn't education. It's history. It's poetry."
-The Catcher in the Rye
soo um...most of you have probably realized that i do not, by any means, update solely for comments, in fact, i've NEVER asked for them. that being said, when i do get them, it's always nice, and i've updated a LOT recently...and it's been maybe a couple of months since i've gotten anything. i'm not going to stop if nobody comments or anything, i'm just saying i'd really really appreciate something. even just one would be cool.

-The Perks of Being A Wallflower
I was stuck. I was in this place,
in between my future and my past,
and I wasn't sure which one I wanted
more. But I guess it was only natural,
you know? To dream of a summer love
from long ago, or nights you spent with
friends you used to know. These people
had long since gone, and part of you
wanted them back, and God you hated
to admit it. That was the funny part.
Like admitting you missed people or
things or times long ago made you weak
or something, but it didn't. And sometimes
I would curl up by my window and stare
off into the stars, dreaming of my future,
the love and friends I had yet to come.
Part of me just wanted to throw myself
into the future and the other part wanted
me to hurl myself into my past.
Our society is judgemental. We are such a judgmental society. You see a really skinny girl and you think, oh she must be anorexic, or bulimic or something (but you don't know her story). You see a heavy person and you think they're lazy, or they eat away their problems (but you don't know their story). You see a girl with big boobs and obviously she's a slut, or a whore (but you don't know her story). You see someone with a lot of bracelets and you think, oh I bet they cut (but you don't know their story). There are so many things like this out there, and not once does anyone stop to think that they might be wrong. Rarely does anyone try to connect with these people, and, well.. shouldn't we? Shouldn't we talk to the boy who sits in the back of the class and never talks to anyone? Shouldn't we take the time to say hi to people in the hallway? If you're afraid of looking stupid, what's the point of doing anything? Shouldn't we make the effort, because, I mean, what if it was you?
It's funny how people change
when they have alcohol in their veins.
You see who they really are.
You know deep down inside there's
nothing hiding behind their eyes.
It's just them without any lies.

I cannot wake up in the morning without you on my mind.
"Most people don't know that, but I also learned that in physics last yaer, that falling people are weightless, which is why you see skydivers doing flips in the air. And they are weightless for the whole drop, up until the point that they hit the ground, and without a parachute they get their full weight back right then, on impact, times a thousand. It crushes them, and that's how falling people die, crushed by nothing more than themselves. Falling can do that too. It's not all pretty, not all a dream."
"People in France have a phrase: "Spirit of the Stairway." In French: esprit d'Escalier. It means that moment when you find the answer but it's too late. So you're at a party and someone insults you. You have to say something. So, under pressure, with everybody watching, you say something lame. But the moment you leave the party... As you start down the stairway, then-magic. You come up with the perfect thing you should've said. The perfect crippling put down. That's the Spirit of the Stairway. The trouble is, even the French don't have a phrase for the stupid things you actually do say under pressure. Those stupid, desperate things you actually think or do."
I checked into a bargain priced room on la cienaga, gazed out through the curtains of the parking lot. Walked down to the corner store just before nightfall in my bare feet. Black tarry asphalt, soft and hot, and when I came back I spread out my supplies on the counter by the sink. I looked myself right in the eyes. St. Joseph's baby aspirin, Bartles and James, and you or your memory. I ducked behind the drapes when I saw the moon begin to rise, gathered in my loose ends switched off the light, and down there in the dark I can see the real truth about me as clear as day. Lord, if I make it through tonight, then I will mend my ways and walk the straight path to the end of my days. St. Joseph's baby aspirin, Bartles and James, and you or your memory.
i'm the smoke from your fire, i'm that lie you can trust.
i'm the chord on your guitar, i'm the girl you can't shut up.
i'm the blood you might need, in your car when you speed.
i'm in that cigarette you breathe - y ou can't get rid of me.

12 serious reasons to laugh:
1. Laughter boots your respiration and circulation.
2. Laughter reduces the stress hormones in your body.
3. Laughter stimulates your immune system so you're better able to fight off infections and diseases.
4. Laughter triggers the release of feel-good endorphins, the body's natural painkillers. It gives you an all-over sense of well-being.
5. Laughter is good exercise. Researchers say that laughing 100 times is equal to 15 minutes on an exercise bike. Hearty laughter is good workout for the whole body.
6. Laughter gives you a different perspective on your problems. As Bill Cosby has said, "If you can laugh at it, you can survive it."
7. Laughter builds and strengthens relationships. As comedian and pianist Victor Borge liked to say, "Laughter is the shortest distance between two people."
8. Laughter raises your self esteem.. You feel more confident and relaxed in social situations. (It's more important to have fun, then to be funny though.)
9. Laughter makes you feel more optimistic about life. You're less likely to feel sad, hopeless, anxious, and depressed.
10. Laughter releases pent-up negative feelings- like anger, frustration, and fear- in a a positive, healthy way.
11. Laughter can make you more alert, creative, relaxed, resilient, and productive. It can sharpen your memory and improve your skills in decision making, negotiating, organizing information, and word association.
12. Laughter is free.
Last night I fell in love without you. The stars at night aren't as big and bright as you make them out to be. - "Fell In Love" by Motion City Soundtrack
The truth is that I'm afraid to be your friend because I'm always going to want more. But then I got to thinking that I'd rather have you in my life as a friend than not at all.
*Just Friends
"And if this is the soundtrack, my mind and
my broken heart collaborate to provide me with the movie -
that night she was so tired she said she needed to lie down,
so she climbed over the seat and laid out in the back.
I thought I'd lost her, but then five minutes later my cell phone rang
and it was her, calling me from my own backseat.
In a sleepy voice she told me how safe and comfortable she felt,
how she was remembering all those late-night drives
back from vacation, and how she'd stretch herself out
and feel like her parents were driving her bed,
nothing unusual about the movement of the road
under the wheels and the tree branches waving across the windshield.
She said those moments made her feel like the car was home,
and maybe that's how I made her feel, too.
Eventually she fell asleep,
but I kept the phone against my ear,
lulled by her breathing, and her breathing again in the background.
And yes, it felt like home.
Like everything belonged exactly where it was."
-Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist
you know how when you were a little kid & you believed in fairy tales,
that fantasy of what your life would be, white dress,
prince charming who would carry you away to a castle on a hill.
you would lie in bed at night & close your eyes
& you had complete & utter faith.
santa claus, the tooth fairy, prince charming,
they were so close you could taste them,
but eventually you grow up, one day you open your eyes
& the fairy tale disappears. most people turn to the things & people they can trust.
but the thing is its hard to let go of that fairy tale entirely
'cause almost everyone has that smallest bit of hope, of faith,
that one day they will open their eyes & it will come true.

Everytime I look at you; I feel better. It shocks me. It knocks my wind out, but it`s true. I don`t have to have sex with you, I`d be happy just to look at you from across the room. & even that, anything, any piece of you. & hopefully, all of you.. that`d be the best thing. Because I love you.

| Most women, it must be admitted, spend their teenage years falling in and out of love. They are more than familiar with the pain of going to a party and watching the object of their young desires end up with another girl. They are well versed in talking to their girlfriends about the bitch that stole him, and they are equally well aware that, although it may feel it at the time, it is not the end of the world.
Conservatives love America like a child loves his mommy, and mommy can do no wrong. Whereas we [liberals] love America like an adult loves someone, recognizing our mate has fault s and taking the good with the bad, and always working to appreciate what’s there, being critical of what’s wrong and trying to help and make it better.

You’re more than a lover
There could never be another
To make me feel the way you do
Oh we just get closer
I fall in love all over
Everytime I look at you
I don’t know where I’d be
Without you here with me
Life with you makes perfect sense
You’re my best friend
You’re my best friend, oh yeah

With hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud slides,
flooding, severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to another,
and with the threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks,
are we sure this is a good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?

A couple of hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success. Never leave that till tomorrow, he said, which you can do today. This is the man who discovered electricity. You think more people would listen to what he had to say. I don't know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I'd have to say it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure, fear of rejection, sometimes the fear is just of making a decision, because what if you're wrong? What if you're making a mistake you can't undo? The early bird catches the worm. A stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can't pretend we hadn't been told. We've all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to seize the day. Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore. Until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin really meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beat the hell out of never trying.
-Grey's Anatomy
She's the pretty perfect girl, with ribbons in her hair
and gloss on her lips. She's the pretty perfect girl,
with the boyfriend that kisses her in the hallways.
She's the pretty perfect girl, with the scars on her arms,
and the bruises on her heart. Nothing is pretty and perfect
behind closed doors.
As I`ve grown, I`ve learned several things. Life is full of disappointments & people you trusted will sooner or later late you down. I`ve learned that often those you love will love someone else & there`s only one way to fall ; fast & hard. I`ve learned that out of thousands of smiles, it takes one to touch your heart. I`ve found that words can be deceiving, but the truth always lies in a person`s eyes. I`ve leanred that everything can change in the blink of an eye & tears often come without invitation. I`ve learned crying can make us stronger & there is never too much love to go around. I`ve learned that prejudice helps no one & that weapons don`t hurt people, people hurt people. I`ve learned sticks & stones may leave cuts & bruises but harsh words leave scars. I`ve found that every time you give someone a piece of your heart, it`s a piece that you will never get back. I`ve learned the past is meant to be put behind us & we can`t dwell on regrets, for what`s done is done. I`ve learned that trusting yourself is the first step & that forgiving is remembering that helps your own heart more then theirs. I`ve found that family isn`t always blood & everyone is someone`s hero I`ve learned life is unexpected & that God can do anything. I`ve learned some things aren`t meant to be understood & that only time heals. I`ve found that imagination is our greatest gift & that we are meant to dream for a reason. I`ve learned it`s never too late to fall in love & that being "beautiful" is all on the inside. Mistakes are our best teachers & everything happens for a reason. Only then can you live life to it`s full & true potential.
" After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and changing a soul. And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning and company doesn't mean security. And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises. And you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes ahead... and you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight. So you plant your own garden instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure, that you really are strong and that you really do have worth... and with every goodbye, you learn. "
then I pray to God
you gotta help me fly away
And just,
Let her cry; if the tears
fall down like rain
Let her sing; if it eases all her pain
Let her go; let her walk
right out on me
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Let her be; let her be.
