“What a strange thing music was. It was just one small individual up there performing, and the notes created by those fingers were here one moment and gone the next.

Through that fleeting, transient moment of music, one was in touch with eternity.”

“I will smile again, that’s for sure. But I will never forget the nights I cried because of you, the nights I waited for a message that never came, the nights I questioned my worth for someone who didn’t care. Those nights broke me in ways no one saw, but they also made me stronger in ways you will never understand. I will smile again, and when I do, it will hurt you because you will realize the person you once took for granted learned to live better without you.”
