Favorite Quote:
“Picture a wave. In the ocean. You can see it, measure it, its height, the way the sunlight refracts when it passes through. And it's there. And you can see it, you know what it is. It's a wave.<br /> <br /> And then it crashes in the shore and it's gone. But the water is still there. The wave was just a different way for the water to be, for a little while. You know it's one conception of death for Buddhists: the wave returns to the ocean, where it came from and where it's supposed to be."<br /> -The Good Place


She smiled as she put the star atop the tree,

and he smiled too,

because he knew the star

could never match her beauty.

Just a little poem I wrote a while ago with inspiration from a poet I follow on social media. I figured this would be a perfect submission for the love story contest.
