“If a tear fell from my eyes,Each time I wished you were with me, I would have an ocean shore outside my door.”

“The Words of an Angel As I sit in a world of darknessI look around to see no oneThe cold wind has filled my soulThe rivers have poured inside my bodyAnd the weight of the waters holds me back from seeing the light of dayWhat should I do?I feel helpless,Paralyzed in my own fearsAnd lost with no directions or roads to takeSuddenly, a felt a laser of energy bolt though my bodyI yelled, “I’m so tired of feeling this way, I need help”Suddenly, gold light appearedAnd a man stood before meYou foolish man,You choose this path the moment you chose to give up and wallow in your sorrowsI cannot help youYou need to help yourself.There are no rivers in your soul holding you back from light of the worldThe strength lies within youLook in my eyes and tell me what you seeThe lost man looked into the angels eyes and said, I see a man who gets his strength from helping othersHe does not waste time focusing on useless mattersIf you dig deep enough my childYou will find precious gift inside yourselfGifts you never knew you hadLearn from othersThen help yourselfOnce you helped yourselfGo out and help the world around youBecause many people feel as you doThe angel suddenly disappearedThe lost man was no longer lostHe was determined to waste no timeHe was going to use his time to help othersJust as the angel helped himThe man got upHe realized the only thing holding him down was himselfThe room was no longer darkThe light of life had enteredDig deep in yourself and lift yourselfThe answer to your problems lies withinUse your giftsFor the greatest gift is the gift of giving.”

“I could tell you a thousand times,How much I love you,It still would not do justice on how much I love you.”

“Love is two people in love, who bond as one, destined for each other; this is the meaning of love.A piece of our spirit remains wherever we have been…”

“Optimistic people bring a sense of hope into world. Encouraging people bring a new meaning to life. They help you see past the clouds on a glooming day. They bring sunlight everyday”

“It’s only sixteen ninety-five," I say with a flutter of my lashes."You’re serious."I prop my hands on my waist and stick out a hip, striking a pose worthy of a supermodel. "Look at me. Don’t I look serious?"She collapses into the chair outside the dressing room in a fit of giggles so cute they make my insides fizz. "No! You must be stopped," she says."Why?" I strut down an aisle of yellowed lingerie, swiveling my hips, batting bras with flicks of my fingers. "I will be the king of the disco. I will be—" I spin and strike another pose. "An inspiration."She sniffs and swipes at her eyes. "The real Dylan would die before he’d be seen in public in something like that.""The real Dylan is boring." I brace my hands on the arms of her chair and lean down until our faces are a whisper apart. "And he’s not one fourth the kisser I am.""Is that right?" Her lips quirk."You know it is."Her smile melts, and her breath comes faster. "Yeah. I do.”

“Would Alona be gone before I even got a chance to say good-bye? A real good-bye? One last kiss and the chance to tell her that she’d made my life better even as she’d made me crazy? That we were better together than I would ever be by myself, but that because of her, I would be okay? Not great, but okay, and I owed that all to her? No. I needed to see her one last time.”
