beyond freaking amazing

A single rose left to remember
As a single tear falls from her eye
Another cold day in December
A year from the day she said goodbye

Seems it's only been a moment
Since the angels took him from her arms
And she was left there holding on to their tomorrow
But as they laid him in the ground
Her heart would sing without a sound

For the first time you can open your eyes
And see the world without your sorrow
Where no one knows the pain you left behind
And all the peace you could never find
Is waiting there to hold and keep you
Welcome to the first day of your life
Just open up your eyes

A single lifetime lays behind her
As she draws her final breath
Just beyond the door he'll find her
Taking her hand he softly says

For the first time you can open your eyes
And see the world without your sorrow
Where no one knows the pain you left behind
And all the peace you could never find
Is waiting there to hold and keep you
Welcome to the first day of your life

Just open up your eyes as I lay you down tonight
Safe on the other side, no more tears to cry

For the first time you can open your eyes
And see the world without your sorrow
Where no one knows the pain you left behind
And all the peace you could never find
Is waiting there to hold and keep you
Welcome to the first day of your life


I don't think I've been so in love with a song for awhile.


Anyway, there's another drumline sectional today... out for now.

Currently Listening: Long Way Home, ATB // Open Up Your Eyes, Daughtry

Welcome August.

It happened exactly two years now. So many things have happened in these two years since that day, such amazing things, such powerful things; but why can I not move on from it? Isn't time supposed to be the ultimate healer? Why does it come back every so often when I'm most unsuspecting, consuming me so completely? Why does this continue to steal my happiness, sanity... and steal my heart from the people I love?

"...He sent me a message telling me how well I did today, how hard I must've worked, how glad he was that I took to heart everything that I had been told. And the next day I quit."

That was then, it doesn't matter now. I wish I could follow your advice. But the experience, it carries on into the person I am today. The way I experience things, my outlook on life. There's no turning back. And deep inside - I know it's a change that would have been better off not happening.


On another note, thank you for Saturday. It was a nice day and a great way to conclude July. C:
