As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn&#039;t supposed to ever let us down, probably will. You&#039;ll have your heart broken and you&#039;ll break others&#039; hearts. You&#039;ll fight with your best friend or maybe even fall in love with them, and you&#039;ll cry because time is flying by. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you&#039;ve never been hurt. Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances. you just have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someone&#039;s hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts. Don&#039;t be afraid to take chances or fall in love and most of all, live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back.<br /> - Unknown


The dark shadows circled around him as he tried to forget the past
He curled up not knowing how long it would last.
He felt alone in this giant world
Except for this one special little girl.
She was his light at the end of the tunnel.

The more time they spent together the more the shadows slowly went away
And the brighter future began to fill his day.
All these great ideas circling in his head
Then she was gone struck ill and pronounced dead.
She was his light at the end of the tunnel.

In his lonely bed he would lay
Keep moving he told himself every day.
He looked at his nightstand to find a picture of her with her dark straight hair
And he realized how much her and wanted her there.
She was his light at the end of the tunnel.

Drowning in his own loneliness and pity
He committed an act that was not very witty.
He saw her again for a brief moment
She cried in a frantic tone what have you done!
See there was no light at the end of his tunnel.

I wrote this to show that even if you lose a loved one your life isn't over and you have so much left to live and you should honor them by living it for them.
