We flowed in time and when our time expired, it was over. You were floating, I was flowing. I was searching and in a bittersweet reality, I was going. Experiences mean more than what we give them. I love and I lose and it’s never a loss because experiences don’t bring losses, they give strength. We learn, we love, and we move on.”
