and when I turn around to look, there you stand.
a bright spot on my memories.


we’ve been alive for decades but it seems we haven’t aged.


maybe when we’re older we’ll see the world with different eyes,
but for now we have only opportunities and there’s always second chances.


they say we don’t know heartache.
what they don’t know is how many times we’ve proven them wrong.


the difference is we know we’ve got life left to live,
and everything to prove.


so a toast to all the nonsense and mischief.
to all the loving and learning.
to all the living we’ve done and have yet to do.


to all the heartbreak and sadness, Pura Vida.
to all the people who scoffed, Pura Vida.
to all the people who thought they could break us, Pura Vida.
to all those shining memories we own, Pura Vida.
to all those moments of realizing just how much we love, Pura Vida.

To Us,
Pura Vida.
