Someone Once Told Me...

Someone once told me to cheer up.

So I did. It took a while, but I did. I got involved, I started living. I looked forward and not behind. I let the wisps of hope surround me in a raging cloud of determination.

Someone once told me that I was going to change the world.

So I will. I'll start small, but I won't stop there. I can't, because my someone is no liar. I won't let that name fall upon him.

Someone once told me to move on.

He told me not to let the past bog me down. Because he and I can only keep moving. In the end, that's all we can do.

Someone once told me that everything would be alright.

Because I'm able to figure things out for myself. No matter how hard, I'll have to figure them out. Because death is not my only option, and a road to a friend's house is never long.

Someone once told me things that I didn't want to tell myself.

Because that's what friends are for.

Someone once told me to do this.

Because that is my destiny.

And then Someone stopped telling me things altogether.

But I will always remember the Road Warrior. The man who helped save my life. I will always remember, and I will wait for his return. It's only a matter of time, and I can be patient.
