A better day will rise, and the sky will be the bluest everybody has ever seen
The birds will sing a song nobody ever heard before, a beautiful symphony for all the good-hearted people
The green in the trees will be so bright, that it may blind some people
Our hearts will mend again
The air will be clearer

Love is everywhere, even in the absence of ourselves
Where you left silence, my friends filled it with so much love I almost became deaf
Their love speaks volumes
My family takes so much care of me, how can I ever feel unlovable?
I’ll not let your fear become my fear, I’ll not let myself be smaller because you can’t do or say anything back

25 is around the corner and I’ll not lie and say I’m not expecting a word from you, but it’s ok — love will be louder, years from now it’s all I’ll remember
Love — from everyone else, but you

One day, we’ll wake up
The first thing we’ll do will not be reach for our phones
It’ll be say thanks for another day
You’ll be braver for yourself, and I’ll still be kind to the world despite myself

The birds will sing, will you listen to them?
