I caught up with an old friend tonight. And after a couple of laughs (and a decent amount of heart-breaking memories) I found myself left with this question: "Is this life only about giving and taking? Can this really be the only thing that keeps our stone-hearts beating?" And then it hit me, like a lighting-rod in the midsts of an electrical storm; This life is about accepting and understanding that not everything will be golden on this yellow-brick road that we call life. And in despite of it all, you will be okay.
Wrote this shortly after it happened. It's more of an extended thought than anything. :b I reused a few lines from some of my earliest pieces to coincide with the idea that I "caught up with the past" a little bit.
