How long has it been...

Since you have met

someone

who

appears to not

be jaded by

this trial called life?

*

How long has it been...

*

Since you have met

someone

who

is so happy

that it radiates from

the core of who they are?

*

How long has it been...

*

Since you have met

someone

who

is so passionate

about their beliefs,

both professional and personal,

that it seems they

can hardly

contain

themselves?

*

How long has it been...

*

Since you have

not felt

jaded...

*

Since you felt so happy

that people needed

to shield their

eyes from

your brightness...

*

Since you felt

truly

passionate

about something,

anything...

*

The true question

is not

How long has it been...

*

but

*

Why has it been so long?
