SOMEONE

it's nice to have someone...


who makes you look at things differently...

who shows you the world in a different perspective...

who consistently makes you see light amidst the darkness...

who makes you see good in bad persons...

who makes out positive things out of the negative...

who walks side by side with you,

even when you have to walk barefoot

in shards of glass...
