23•Full Quote: "She walks with the sun in her eyes, the moon beneath her feet. She is a thousand brilliant suns. She is the shattered surface of the moon. She will tell you a thousand secrets and keep a thousand more. She will give you your dreams until you have no more. She is the breath in your lungs. She is the life you pass in the dawn. She is the smile you wear. She is the tears you shed. She is everything and nothing and she is anything you want. She is questions after the answers. She is the scent you long for. She is the memory that chases you. If you ever forget: she is the girl with the sun in her eyes and the moon beneath her feet."
