When you stop breathing
Life does not end, because she
Took my breath away

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
- Maya Angelou
When i was little/I used to point a chubby finger toward the dark sky/And ask my father/why some stars moved and others didn’t/He would laugh and explain that some were airplanes/I still wish on them today ~ Laugh-It-Out
The feathers of a crow are black/The ink of my pen is blacker/The pain of my heart is blackest~ Mckay
If love produced a blossom/I’d take it in my palm/What a blessing, the bright color!/How soothing, such a balm!/I’d keep a petal for my own/The rest, drop from my hands/For such a flower would multiply/And populate the lands~ thesilentraven
And I began to rival legends/Long entombed before my birth./But for all my much envied fame/The lust for more would not abate./The plaques and prizes with my name/Will, like all things, disintegrate. ~ TheEpic95 now known as Helena_Noel

Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful.

Taking one's breath away isn't  always about death. Alot of people say it took their breath away when they saw their newborn child (theat doesn't mean they died).

Worry is simply a misuse of the imagination.

So, Life doesn't end but she took your breath away?

Did she give it back?

I'm sorry... I don't really understand it...
