Those are words to say goodbye with...

Like...really goodbye.

Or words to say when you don't think you

will see someone again...

Words you remember when you run into them

years later & catch a glimmer in their eyes -

a shadow of your time together...

Or words that echo in your mind when

you learn of their death.

Those words are so very terrifying...

I have to wake up now!

I have to find my way...

I have to walk down the brightest dark

streets till my fear fades away...

And & I can honestly say that:

"I am."
