"To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment." <br /> - Ralph Waldo Emerson


Once you have loved someone, they're always in your heart

Once you have loved someone, you can never truly part

Memories will keep them near, and forget them you will never

For they are a part of you, to carry and treasure forever

There is a fake love and a real, and if you give it some good thought

You will find that real love has a string, and fake love does not

If you truly love someone, they'll always be close at heart

For true love can keep two people together, from a million miles apart 


The author's comments:

I originally wrote this piece to be general truth to how once you have loved someone, no matter what happens to them, they never leave you completely. But secretly, I dedicated this poem to a certain someone who will forever remain unanimous. Personally, this is one of my favorite poems that I have ever written. It is one of those things for me that when I read it, it makes me really think about it. Love is not hollow. It also always reminds me that even death doesn't break the love that you feal for people that you have loved. Family. Friends. And no matter what happens you always have your memories. And they do help.

I think everybody’s weird. We should all celebrate our individuality and not be embarrassed or ashamed of it.<br /> -Johnny Depp

(Btw, it wouldn't be like a character saying it or anything, unless you'd like it to, but it would be at the front or back of the book)

Oh. My. Gosh. This is beautiful and so amazing! I love your poetry and was hoping that you could permit me to use this in the book I am writing. I may have asked this on another one of your works, but I cannot find it, so I won't use it, with or without permission. I'd love to give you full credit for this if your answer is yes. If you'd like, I can keep it anonymous or use your real name (Though I only know your first name due to your description on your profile) or even just your username!
