These Tears I Dearly Love

It's amazing
how the smallest thing can change your life.
how one person can make you smile.
how happy you can be when everyone else is sad.

It's amazing
to know that without even one thing in your life,
if you never had it, never found it, never used and loved it,
you would be a totally different person.

It's amazing,
how there is no day like another,
that each day is unique just by the thing you see or hear.
That even though you never say it, someone can see it.

It's amazing
that we're humans
who can change
and feel
and love
and get to know new people.

It's amazing
that every little thing I have
are pieces of the puzzle that make up me.
Without one, I'm incomplete.
And the puzzle is not finished.
It keeps growing, larger and larger,
and the image keep changing as you grow older.

It's amazing
that I can cry
with these tears that I have finally been able to shed
for a real cause, for a real reason.
And I'm so glad, and so happy
that these tears are for you.

And from now, each person I see
I will smile and laugh.
I will make sure that each person I meet
is someone I won't forget.
Because you taught me to see that the most insignificant of things
are the most important pieces to the puzzle.

Hey,
It's amazing
that you can still make a difference
when you're gone.

And it's amazing,
that the sun will still rise tomorrow.
And you'll not be forgotten.
Because even though the world might have lost you,
and it seems like you weren't needed...

To me, you made a difference.
