If I could make you happy,
Then I would gladly stay.
If I could bring you a smile so huge
As on children when they play.
...
A life not worth living, you say?
An unbelievable toll!
Talents not worth using
must mean songs not worth singing,
...
I haven't forgotten
that look in your eyes,
the way you cocked your head to the side when you laughed.
I can't let go of
...
I sing for you, my angels.
You are the clouds on which I fly.
...
I am stronger because you've made me this way.
I've learned to laugh, to love.
Learned to endure hardships,
strive to achieve excellence.
...
I ate my lunch in the park again today,
as it is becoming my usual routine.
I'm finally allowing myself to sit in silence
and brave being alone with my thoughts.
...
It was the middle of winter,
the middle of the night.
We were sitting in a diner together,
engaged in small talk.
...
I used to write you messages in the sand, Mother.
I knew they'd be erased
with the night's rising waters,
but I always took comfort
...
I must confess that this is my first time
seeing the leaves change in fall.
I laid on my back
under a rather large tree today,
...
No candy hearts or roses, please.
I don't want teddy bears.
I don't want dinner at the Palm.
No movie tickets,
...
