if ten million fireflies.

'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance
- Fireflies, by Owl City

i saw our old photos yesterday. i didn't cry, i didn't choke, i didn't turn away. i smiled.
they're sweet, those pictures. us. our smile, our memories.
thank you, thank you, i want to say, thank you. for everything. for this. for us.

let's not try to outrun the world, even if earth turns really slowly. aren't everything okay, this way, right now? and i hope someday we'll wake up and find that the reality is better than our dreams.

those fireflies will always be there. just close your eyes. aren't the lights dancing? aren't they beautiful?
