hora ashimoto wo mitegoran

kore ga anata no ayumu michi

hora mae wo mitegoran

are ga anata no mirai...

Terikagayaku taiyou to

Yaketa hada ga mabushii ne

Nagakatta ano toki ga ima yomigaeru

Nagakatta you de mijikai

Suteki na omoide no tsukihi

Makkuro na kao ga monogatatte iru yo

Kaerigiwa basu no mado kara mieru koutei

Suteki da ne isshou kenmei na sugata ga

Me ni yakitsuiteru

Minna no chikara de

Tsukuriageru purei

Kesshite sore wa hitori dake no chikara de wa nai sa

Tsurai toki kanashii toki

Sasaete kureru minna

Sore ga chiimuwaaku nanda ne

Honban no butai de kurihirogerareru kessen no hibi

Kattemo maketemo

Hitomi wa kagayaiteta

Kaerigiwa basu no mado kara mieru koutei

Suteki da ne isshou kenmei na sugata ga

Me ni yakitsuiteru

Suteki da ne konna notte

Suteki da ne akogare da ne

Kondo wa watashi ga suteki ni naritai

Mimamotte ite ne...

...because I knew you...

So much of me
is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me
like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
by being my friend...

...just a little...

i love you
you're not perfect
don't change

Dear Old Shiz

O, hallowed halls and vine draped walls
the proudliest site there is.
When grey and seer our hair hath turned,
we shall still revere the lessons learned
in our days at dear old Shiz.

So though I can't imagine how, I hope you're happy right now…

Something has changed within me

Something is not the same

It's time to trust my instincts

Close my eyes...and leap!

I hope you're happy

Now that you're choosing this

I hope it brings you bliss

I really hope you get it

And you don't live to regret it

I hope you're happy in the end

I hope you're happy,

my friend...

...green...

Hands touch, eyes meet
Sudden silence, sudden heat
Hearts leap in a giddy whirl
...
Don't dream too far
Don't lose sight of who you are
Don't remember that rush of joy
...
Ev'ry so often we long to steal
To the land of what-might-have-been
But that doesn't soften the ache we feel
When reality sets back in
...
Don't wish, don't start

Wishing only wounds the heart

...all good things must come to an end...

" Hi, Amy, it's mom. Well, by the time you see this, I won't be here anymore, and I know how much that sucks, for both of us. So seeing as how I won't be around to thoroughly annoy you, I thought I would give you a little list of the things that I wish for you. Well, there's the obvious. An education. Family. Friends. And a life that is full of the unexpected. Be sure to make mistakes. Make a lot of them, because there's no better way to learn and to grow, all right? And, um, I want you to spend a lot of time at the ocean, because the ocean forces you to dream, and I insist that you, my girl, be a dreamer. God. I've never really believed in god. In fact, I've spent a lot of time and energy trying to disprove that god exists. But I hope that you are able to believe in god, because the thing that I've come to realize, sweetheart... is that it just doesn't matter if god exists or not. The important thing is for you to believe in something, because I promise you that that belief will keep you warm at night, and I want you to feel safe always. And then there's love. I want you to love to the tips of your fingers, and when you find that love, wherever you find it, whoever you choose, don't run away from it. But you don't have to chase after it either. You just be patient, and it'll come to you, I promise, and when you least expect it, like you, like spending the best year of my life with the sweetest and the smartest and the most beautiful baby girl in the world. You don't be afraid, sweetheart. And remember, to love is to live. "
