"Don't write down all the moments you embrace; embrace all the moments you can put in words."

"The world will tell you who you are, until you tell the world."

And I think it's the way you say hello,
or the way your hugs make me feel so safe,
possibly the way you make smile,
or maybe it's just that way you have of making me feel special.

I asked you today for a good luck charm,
sure you gave me this and gave me that,
but behyond all else, I have you. <3

I see the walls all around you. The guard you didn't think anyone would notice.
But you wanted them to, didn't you? Put them up to see who cared enough to tear them down.

Check it out. :)

"I don't know who I am anymore. I've pretended so long that I'm convinced. Who I am is who the world wants me to be. But that was yesterday."

A cycle never ends. You can't replace the irreplaceable. And when you try, the whole gets bigger. I just want to let go.
