I do not tell you that you are beautiful because you have just become beautiful.
I tell you that you are beautiful because you always have been.
Your beauty is not something that appeared one day.
It was always there, it has always been here.
Your Beauty  has always been.
It's now time for you to see it too.

You left me.
You left all of us.
In your absence we have all been left to our own devices.
I'll have you know it's not pretty.
The day you left was a dark day.
Not just in my heart and in my home
But outside too
Maybe, Just maybe
that was Gods' way of sympathizing with me.
This is a poem about the day I lost my best friend.
I miss you.
There once was this  boy.
He was unaware of it but
He had the brightest smile.
I long to see that smile one last time.
*One last time.
since feeling is first
who pays any attention
to the syntax of things
will never wholly kiss you;
wholly to be a fool
while Spring is in the world

my blood approves
and kisses are a better fate
than wisdom
lady i swear by all flowers. Don't cry
- the best gesture of my brain is less than
your eyelids' flutter which says

we are for each other: then
laugh, leaning back in my arms
for life's not a paragraph

and death i think is no parenthesis.
A poem by E.E. Cummings.
That smile
Taught me to love...
Taught me to not be afraid...
Taught me to never give up...
Taught me that good things take time...
Taught me...
A great deal
Of things about this thing we call
**Life
Dear Younger Me,

We've shed many tears
Over all these years.

However, thats okay
We have had our good days.

You'll meet some great people along the way
We can never repay them


everything happens for a reason.
i promise.

Do not let anyone rob you of your peace and hope.
When will I ever be enough?**

It is a simple question.
Yet I'm filled with transgression.

— The End —
