Dear The Girl,

You have changed. I love you for that.

For the first time since I’ve known you, you have shown maturity and self-control in a situation that, in the past, would have controlled you. You have risen out of your past. I can see that you are bursting out of the arms that continue to encircle you after all of these years. It’s not because they are losing the strength of their grip. It’s because you have changed and grown and they can no longer contain you.

As others in your life encircle you and pull you down into their abysmal lives of frustration, and regret, they truly will sink.

I am happy though. You have finally found a way to swim with me up to the surface where the seaweed tickles but has no power to pull us asunder, where we can feel the warmth of the sun on our faces and view the endless horizon of time–to be one with life, to be a positive light, and to let the currents take us where they may.

On this road, that lies before us
Live the love, the joy and sorrow
But we will always try to remember
The pain today, is the joy tomorrow

And now together, together
Love will be much better, yes it will
Together together, our love will share
And forever forever love will keep us together
And together, together our lives will change

But until then, till then we will follow
Follow this road endlessly, we believe,
That we have found love from this moment
From this moment until forever

And now together, together
Love will be much better, yes it will
Together together, our love will share
And forever forever love will keep us together
And together, together our lives will change
And forever forever love will keep us together
And together, together our lives will change
