The Summary

i thought losing the person that gave life to me would stop me from discovering all the beautiful and wonderful things on this earth. i was broken into pieces & i thought i could never gather myself again. but whenever i am alone, i see her smiling and encouraging me to move on. her hand pulls me beyond the longing which i always long to be, like a crashing tidal wave that drags me out to sea.
