&quot;I walked away,<br /> not because I wanted to leave,<br /> but because I wanted to see if you would try to catch me.<br /> And when you didn&#039;t,<br /> I had the strongest urge to turn around and come back...again.<br /> But I didn&#039;t. <br /> I just kept on walking.&quot;

You fall, you rise, you make mistakes, you live and learn. You&#039;re human, not perfect. You&#039;ve been hurt but, you&#039;re alive - to breathe to think, to enjoy, and chase the things you love.
