"We all have two lives; the second starts on the day we realize that we only have one."


Size is a number
age is a number
height is a number
weight is a number

But you’re not a number.
You’re a collection of

memories and stories
You’re the yawns and sneezes

of your life.
You’re the sun and moon

that changes everyday
You’re not a number on a
tag, birthday, ruler, or scale.
You’re you.
And I love you even

if you don’t.
I guess I’ll just love us enough for two.

I&#039;ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. <br /> - Maya Angelou <br /> When i was little/I used to point a chubby finger toward the dark sky/And ask my father/why some stars moved and others didn&rsquo;t/He would laugh and explain that some were airplanes/I still wish on them today ~ Laugh-It-Out<br /> The feathers of a crow are black/The ink of my pen is blacker/The pain of my heart is blackest~ Mckay<br /> If love produced a blossom/I&rsquo;d take it in my palm/What a blessing, the bright color!/How soothing, such a balm!/I&rsquo;d keep a petal for my own/The rest, drop from my hands/For such a flower would multiply/And populate the lands~ thesilentraven<br /> And I began to rival legends/Long entombed before my birth./But for all my much envied fame/The lust for more would not abate./The plaques and prizes with my name/Will, like all things, disintegrate. ~ TheEpic95 now known as Helena_Noel

This poem was s beautiful to read it made me smile wide. I love this. My favourite parts being " You're the sun and the moon that changes everyday" and "And I love you even if you don't" I love the way you expressed yourself.
