333. Mark of the Dove

Make your mark on the hearts of the people,

And you will live on in their memories forever.

And it doesn’t take much to make such an impression,

because if you dig deep enough, you’ll find what they treasure. 

You’ll find all the happiness in the world, 

by showing that you can be happy,

and when you laugh, they’ll laugh, too.

When you remember, you create those memories,

When you love, you create that love.

Everything is a mirror made of glass,

a reflection of twin doves sharing a single destiny.

And we’ve shattered all that we love,

and all that we cared for, 

for the sake of making an impression on others,

while pretending to have cared before,

but never really caring at all. 

That is not the impression I wish to make.

That is not the skeleton I am built upon. 

I wish to be the love that others can love,

I wish to be the mark on the hearts of others,

I wish to be the other half of the dove—

I wish not to be a fighter, but a lover,

But if I must fight for that love, then I will.
