I thought my tears had dried up for now. But leaving my home state and seeing that the poem for my Grandma was both nominated and won, they come so easily. I hope those who read and voted felt the pieces of her I placed in there. Thank you.

I’ll never learn if I never leap
I’ll always yearn if I never speak
To be loved and love at the highest count
- Adele

What a heavenly way to die
What a time to be alive
Because forever is in your eyes
But forever ain’t half the time
I wanna spend with you
I wanna be with you

- “Heavenly Way to Die” by Troye Sivan

“Don’t Blame Me” by Taylor Swift only begins to express how I feel when it comes to you.

“I Turn to You” by Christina Aguilera hitting hard tonight. Also seems my quotes has turned into a playlist. Enjoy.

Thank you to the person who nominated my poem, those who voted for it and for the win. Biggest thanks goes out to my muse, my inspiration, ma petite fleur, who makes each day something special, who loves me despite my flaws and who I’ll cherish forever.

“Infinity” by Jaymes Young perfectly reflects the thoughts and feelings in both my mind and heart. I use it to drown out all the other voices, trying to find my own amidst the chaos.

Lyrics to “The Only Exception” by Paramore, spilled from my own lips, echoing off my shower walls this morning.

“Older Than I Am” by Lennon Stella always makes me cry.

If the rear-view mirror isn’t shaking, the music’s not loud enough.
