i didn't strive for graciousness until you came along. i lived in a pool of my own hatred and pain, but you helped me out of it; despite the possibility that you would fall in too.

i didn't know that there were still good people until you came along. i thought everyone was selfish and obsessed with superficiality, but you walked in the light, shining on whoever removed their shields.

i didn't know people still felt remorse until you came along. i assumed those people were long gone, but here you are, proving me wrong.

i didn't know a persons presence could affect other people until you came along. you met my grandmother once, and your memory is printed in her mind. she said your eyes show your pain, and i've seen it.

i didn't know someone could grow flowers beneath their feet until you came along. you emit love and kindness, and touch people's hearts just by smiling. you speak literature, and you walk in the light.
