I can see the pain written on the canvas of your heart. Believe me when I say I have tried to understand what has happened, but I won’t pretend to know what you have been through. I just wish it was me and not you. Please know I wish it was me and not you. Everyone deserves moments of peace where th...

I want you to know something. You were made to fly, You were born with wings. They’re quite the beauty, actually, With colors so brilliant, so alive, so eager to shine.
