Jay-Z said it well:
"Time don't go back, it go forward.
Can't run from the pain, go towards it.
Some things can't be explained, what caused it?
Such a beautiful soul, so pure, shit.
Gonna see you again, I'm sure of it.
Til that time, little man I'm nauseous."
With so many loses in the world as of recent, it's easy for anyone to understand the thoughts and feelings in those words. It's hard when you lose someone that the world knows. But it's even harder when you lose someone that the world didn't get the chance to know yet.
But I think that's what helps show someone's character. Because some people are something to the world; and some are the world to some people.
It's an amazing feeling to be surrounded by people who are all gathered not to mourn a loss but to celebrate a life. To listen to the stories being shared. To be inspired by someone who is no longer with us. I believe in my heart that everyone that I was with last night left that location with a little bit more added to their spirit. Just a little piece of a spirit that we all couldn't help but love. One that we will never forget. One that will forever live on in us all.

Admire From Afar
Eyes that can make my heart skip a beat and double its speed at the same time.
A smile that could fill the deepest void in my happiness.
Skin that looks so smooth I think I might smear it if I touch you.
Hands that could ease the most ravaged soul with just a touch of your fingertip.
A body that without a doubt spent its prior life as a muse for some of the world's greatest works of art.
In layman's terms: You are utter perfection.
All of this and I've never even had a real conversation with you. Nothing more than a mere "hello" in passing. And even that is enough to stop the constant beating in my chest. But your defibrillating smile always brings me right back
Oh but we've spoken in my mind. Some of the most fascinatingly humorous and intellectually stimulating conversations I've never had. Though, I must admit, sometimes I can't focus on every word you say because I get lost watching your lips formulate and articulate every vowel and consonant that's beautifully structured into those very words.
But there is one problem. One that I can't escape even in my momentary lapses in reality. The very reason that it's impossible for me to verbalize how I feel.
And here he comes.
He greets you with a one-arm hug. As he speaks to you he only locks eye contact for brief intervals. Your genuine smile doesn't cause him to recollect his thoughts and start over. Like it should.
What is it that you see? What is it that you love? What does he have that I don't?
Quite frankly, I'm pretty sure I have more.
What makes him more worthy than me? Does he have the same interests as you? Does your family like him? Is he just more of your type?
Or, did he just wake up earlier than me one day?
I guess I am destined to go the rest of my days without ever knowing the answers to these dire questions of mine. Because you are so clearly and visibly in love with him. And although I do not know him personally, I can tell that he is not foolish enough to ever let you slip away.
So until the day that I am lucky enough to find someone that is even a fraction of your caliber... all I can do is, harmlessly, admire from afar.
Live, love & learn!
