&quot;Take chances&quot;<br /> &quot;never regret something that made you smile&quot;<br /> &quot;Forever isn&#039;t infinity. It&#039;s the time two people spent together, be it a few seconds, five minutes, an hour, days, months, or more.&quot;

So bright,
Ray of sun.
Shines on my world,
Makes me whole.

Captivating,
Riveting eyes,
Hard to let go,
Looks into my soul.

Mesmeric,
An iron hold.
Locking me down,
Fallen, no doubt.

So dark,
A rebellious edge.
Tainting the white,
Without a fight.

Hypnotized,
Will crumbling.
How can the night,
Light up my life?

A conflicted oxymoron I found in my life. Something seemly so dark yet is one of the brightest spots of my day.
