Listen.
I will lose myself
if it means I can find you.

He carries stars in his pockets
because he knows
she fears the dark.
Whenever sadness pays her a visit
he paints galaxies
on the back of her hands.

I may have lost my parents, but I think you lost more than that… you lost yourself

He was the last thread suspending me in the light. Without him, I can feel myself spiraling downward, falling to a place where I can no longer pull myself back up.

He gave himself to them completely, with no guilt, no shame, no reservation, and in that surrender he found a quiet, shining pearl he had never known existed - himself. He was Sam. He was Sunshine. He was Peaches.

I will come back to you, I swear I will;
And you will know me still.
I shall be only a little taller
Than when I went.
