Time will not dim the glory of their deeds...


A heart afraid to love will never learn to dance...


"My mistake, I didn't know to be in love you had to fight to have the upper hand..."

empty spaces
crowded and full of voices
echoing in the air around them
holding nothing, meaning nothing
meaning something, meaning everything
to someone, somewhere
the voices echo in her ears
solo, clear and true
crashing through the chaos
and all she hears is you
your words meaning something
something so fragile
like her heart beating
under her innocent skin
you fill that heart
your words fill that heart
she loves your words
she loves you
so use soft, fragile words
and fill her heart with tenderness
she's counting on you
she's counting on your words
so fill the emptiness with words
fill her heart with love
be gentle
love her
let her love you
be happy
let her be happy
you are meant to be
be
