“I see you look at me when you think I'm not aware
You're searching for clues of just how deep my feelings are
How do you prove the sky is blue, the oceans wide?

I will love you till death do us part
I promise you as a lover and a friend
I will love you like I never love again
With everything that I am”

“I see you running all the time, running, always running. Stop running and look around, you might just find what you looking for. Don’t drown yourself trying to learn how to swim. Know when enough is enough. Don’t quit but take a break every now and then. It’s not necessary for you to have all the answers right now. It’s not necessary for you to know everything. All you are doing is developing an obsession, an addiction in trying to perfect yourself. You are hurting yourself with everything you are trying to know. Some times it’s best just to do nothing and to know nothing.”

by minimum-
wage
butlers
then preaching
to
US

“I see young people being dismissed for supposedly wanting only "stupid" and "easy" material, or that they don't have an attention span longer than three minutes.

Well, I don't know if I'm doing that, but I'm trying.”

“I see your birth. Your violent entrance into the barren and endless space. Sent here by accident or with purpose, Krona does not even know.
Casting your presence across the entire universe. Light fighting back darkness by creating the stars and planets.
Creating your shelter, earth, at the very spot you were thrust into the universe. The planet in which you made your home under molten rock -- and primordial waters.
I see you touch the oceans, transforming them into seas of spontaneous life. Overflowing with evolution. Gaining complexity. Conjuring thought.
I watch the first sentient creature in the universe to ever will itself to move...do just that. And it is the origin of Willpower itself. The creature ignites with emerald light and transforms, elevated above the others.
It is Ion.
Thousands of years fly before my eyes as the creature escapes earth's oceans and crawl to land. Some take to the air. Fleeing for survival, this thing transforms into the emotional power it emits. Fear is born.
And thus Parallax.
As Love ignites into existence, so does the Predator.
As a creature eats what it does not need, Avarice consumes all it touches.
Rage grows from murder.
Hope from prayer.
And at last, Compassion is offered to us all.”
“I see your emotional abuse
and I raise you
my confessional poetry.”

“I see your face in my mind as I drive away
'Cause none of us thought it was gonna end that way.
People are people, and sometimes we change our minds.
But it's killing me to see you go after all this time.
Music starts playin' like the end of a sad movie.
It's the kinda ending you don't really wanna see.
'Cause it's tragedy and it'll only bring you down.
Now I don't know what to be without you around.
And we know it's never simple, never easy,
Never a clean break. No one here to save me.
You're the only thing I know like the back of my hand.
And I can't breathe without you
But I have to.”
“I see your fear, and it's big. I also see your courage and it's bigger. We can do hard things, baby. We are fireproof.”

as clearly as I feel my own.
I will share your burden
so you feel it less.

so you feel it more.

as clearly as I feel yours.”

Neither have you, I believe; nor any man, nor any spirit of our humble stature.”
