Don't worry

about what they think,

she said. She took a

deep breath. She watched

the world around her

crumbling, burning

falling apart

In the last moments

All I want to do

is show you

how much

you are loved.

Reaching out across

an endless abyss

of obstacles,

of walls,

of everything.

I could fall,

I could get lost

But I think

it would be

the greatest adventure

of my life

only because

at the end of it all, you are

standing right there.

right next to me.

your presence alone

makes all the difference.

I choose to stand tall

Like those two that stood

before the horizon

one day. that was the day

everything changed.

today, we have the power

to do right.

so, where will you stand?
