Together Nothing is done better Zhan when it’s done together You wait so patiently for that stillness you know so well, to evade. It softly creeps in just as you begin to wonder whether it was all worth it; whether it was worth all the disappointed faces, and all the empty spaces and the lonely feelings that are tagged on to the losses that once seemed the end of the world..... and then you get the rewarding smiles and thank you's and signs of appreciation which make you want to throw away the pain that once was, But you can’t. You can never forget the pain no matter how hard they try to ice it over with their candy-coated words; But it’s not long before you see that their words and tears, through time, have begun to erode that barrier that you’ve built around yourself for protection Besides, you’re growing up you’re finally beginning to realize that you can no longer make things happen by yourself You need them. You need them to transform all those dreams into realities and you know that only through them are these realities possible. Zoget her you can do it. Zogether we have done it.
