"There's a girl in the park."

"But it's winter, what could she possibly do?"

"She's sitting on the swingset, swinging."

"But it's full of snow."

"She doesn't care.

Josh smiles, he met a girl once. She was fierce but insecure. She cared what people thought, she didn't live for herself. 

"There's a smile on her face. Frozen tears are ceasing and being replaced with a bright smile. I can see the way the wind pushes her hair back as he goes up, then it projects itself in the opposite direction as she comes back down. It's basic physics, really. But it's beautiful, to see in action. She seems to be happy now, away from whatever made her miserable before."

"That's good, I don't think people should be miserable."

"Weren't you miserable?"

"Was, yes."

"What changed?"

"I met you."

Tyler's eyes widened and he gasped in shock. He was surpised.

"Me?"

"Yes, you, Tyler."

"Why?"

"Because you see the beauty in the little things in this world. You give me something to look forward to, a reason to wake up."

Tyler couldn't really believe what he was hearing. He felt a great amount of joy overwhelm him along with countless of thoughts racing through his minds.

"I use to go on swingsets all the time. It's where I went to cry. It was quiet, peaceful you know?"

"I know. I had my own places."

"Where?"

"My car. It was always quiet. Somebody stole my car radio."

"I'll sing for you."
