The greatest good is to leave the world a bit better than you met it.

There is no deed greater than this.

Unwrap me.

And the birds flew from the sand, leaving behind nothing but the pale sight of a broken wood, a shattering of the dreams of what could be, of what we could become, shadows fusing in the night but forever separated by the sun shining over the sand.

When you say "us", you don't know how much you touch the softest part of my heart.

Your eyes see forever, my heart's withering, I'm afraid of falling, too afraid of love even though I wanna be near it with you.
I can't promise forever, so why am I even starting this?

...and if it's not forever, why are we even starting it?

My lips shaped "hello" but whispered "goodbye"-
Like water through fingers, you flowed away
While I stood rooted, watching my world change.
Now I search for us in mirrors of memory
But find only strangers wearing our names.

Walk, run, stumble forward—
Make mistakes, learn, love fiercely,
Break a few hearts (and mend your own).

Youth is not endless, but it is yours:
Be mindful what you feed your soul,
Be gentle with your aging knees.
Fall seven times, rise eight.

Be gloriously, imperfectly human—
Live wild and full,
And when death comes calling,
Embrace the dust
Like the hero you were born to be.
