"i.
you are on your way to the sun when you find him,
his wings nearly featherless, his movements certain
and fearless in spite of it all.
ii.
he is chasing life and you are chasing light,
but you are heading in the same direction,
so you decide to fly side by side.
iii.
the story does not end with two boys losing their way,
conquering the sun or crashing into the sea. it ends
with his hand in yours and the promise of a future
brighter than every dream you have ever dreamt.
(and in that future, his wings heal.)"
m.i. (via sunlitverses)
