Merci (by iaVember)

For the songs that gained more meaning and worth

For the stares that meant the world

For the laughs that delighted my heart and soul

For the lamp in times of darkness

For the comfort we found in food

For the moments that only us, two, will understand

For sharing a part of you to me

For inviting me into your home

For the tears that only a heart in love can cry

For seeing me more than who I thought I was

For giving me a piece of heaven on earth

For trying

For cradling me in my worst

For words that will always hold their own truth

For the mornings filled with hope

For the resounding sweet dreams

For taking pride in me

For the unstained acceptance

For the rides

For the bumps

For the roads less travelled by

For the bridge we crossed

For being brave

For you

For me

For the bond

For the days

For the nights

For a shot at that elusive perpetuity

Mon ami, Merci

On Leaving...

[These are lines from the movie Try Seventeen. For a reason familiar to the innermost me, these lines spoke right through me. Echoing. Resounding. Making more sense with its every ricochet.]

You can't stop some people. They come into your life destined to leave it. You can wrap your arms tight around them, but the best that you can do is just slow them down a little 'cause there's no holding on tight enough.

Ponder upon the wailing sound,
What do you hear beyond the cries?
Ponder upon the clamoring feet,
What do you see beyond the haste?
Ponder upon the screeching tires,
What do you hear beyond the sound?
Ponder upon the broken plates,
What do you see beyond each marred piece?
Ponder upon the humming birds,
What do you hear beyond the echoes?
Ponder upon the setting sun,
What do you see beyond the image gone?
Ponder upon the pouring gush of rain,
What do you hear beyond the loud whispering wind?
