You say that your sky has been changing lately. That you're tired and broken. That the answers you thought you'd found don't seem to work right anymore.
We've been down these sad roads a thousand times before, sat quietly on lonely hillsides, cried with forgotten songs on the radio. Always, it was our belief in other days that got us through.
I remember planting dreams with you, chasing wishes, watching flowers. But what I remember best is how you always made me laugh, even when the world around us was falling apart.
All these years, walking the solitary paths where I found and lost myself a thousand times, I never felt alone because you were in my memory. You were there and I will always stand by you.

Go outside now, and walk away. Find one of those roads again somewhere in the quiet shade of gentle trees. Take this thought and hug your shadow and love yourself and remember these things: There is nothing in the world worth giving up for what you've already achieved. You will always be a fighter and a dreamer. Now, more than ever, you've got to look deep within your heart and believe.
