Sometimes, it takes a literal slap across the face
to make someone realize exactly how much they have to lose.
And sometimes, it really does take losing what you have
to make you realize exactly how precious it was to begin with.
Everyone says that a man has to be strong,
and can't show the emotions he truly feels
even when he is shattered inside.
But sometimes, even the strongest of men
are faced with such trials where all they can do is break.
I don't care if anyone laughs at me,
because I shed tears.
To those that have truly loved and lost, they understand.
If you don't understand about what I speak of,
then there can be no honest way for others to sit in judgement.
There are probably those out there that will read this,
and think this just another sappy love story;
and to that, I say to you to think what you wish.
Sometimes a soul must pass through the rages of an inferno
to be tempered strong enough to withstand anything
that this unfair world can throw at you.
And sometimes, even the strongest of us must break,
in order to be remade again into something better;
Just so you can finally say to yourself,
and to those you love more than live itself,
that the dream has not been forgotten.

Sometimes a soul must pass through the rages of an inferno

And sometimes, even the strongest of us must break,
in order to be remade again into something better;
this part is fiery, it burns!

Know that no matter what, I am and always will be here for you, you are important to me. You know how much so there is no need for the words as to how I feel about you and your family.
