All the years and all the tears... boy, Laurel, aren't they gonna be shocked when they realize that nothing was ever lost - not friendships, not opportunities, not love - nothing?
And that they already had all those things they went searching for?
That never once were we disappointed in them?
That nothing had to be proved, learned, or earned?
That all along they were, in fact, the person they had always dreamed of becoming?
Glad we caught up with you when we did!!
Whoohoo!
The Universe
Laurel, there are only happy endings... if you believe in endings.
