You

You are loved. 
Not for what you do
Not for pieces of you. 
But for who you are
For how you are 
For every scar
For every quality 
And memory
That built you.

Choices

We all make choices in this life. 
We chose to live for others. 
We chose to live for ourselves. 
We chose to take responsibility. 
We chose to make excuses.
We chose our lives.
And sometimes, 

choosing what is right is not the same as choosing what is easy.

Unknown

You think you know what tomorrow brings. 
But it's hard to know what life really means. 
Especially when dreams get ripped at the seams. 
Today, tomorrow, yesterday. 
Love and light is the only way.
Dreams may die but hope will stay.

Because

I feel in love with love
When I first saw 
the Beast give the library to Belle
Because a love like that 
means giving more than taking 

I've been called "Hopeless romantic"
Ever since I watched 
Cory kiss Topanga on the jungle gym
Because a love like that 
seemed hopelessly impossible

I've sat starry eyed 
As Paul held Holly 
And they kissed in the rain
Because a love like that 
is messy and beautiful 

I've made spells
With Sally Owens
For that perfectly perfect man 
Because a love like that 
didn't seem real

I've lived in my daydreams
Never knowing
That I was not alone 
Because a love like that 
Isn't always just a dream

Everything

You're the high dive
At the community pool 
You're recess 
In elementary school
You're the smell of breakfast
On a summer morning
You're the sprinkle of snow
That comes without warning
You're the light at the shore
Bringing in the ships from the sea
You're the single spring bud
On a bare dogwood tree
You're the final piece of a puzzle
That makes the picture complete
You're everything
That makes life deliciously sweet
