“Are you anybody else’s missing piece?”
“Not that I know of.”
“Well, maybe you want to be your own piece?”
“I can be someone’s and still my own.”

“Underneath my outside face
There’s a face that none can see.
A little less smiley,
A little less sure,
But a whole more like me.”
“There are no happy endings.
Endings are the saddest part,
So just give me a happy middle
And a very happy start.”

She can love others and still love thee.”

Screamed out in fright,
‘Turn on the dark,
I’m afraid of the light.”

“How many slams in an old screen door?
Depends how loud you shut it.
How many slices in a bread?
Depends how thin you cut it.
How much good inside a day?
Depends how good you live ‘em.
How much love inside a friend?
Depends how much you give ‘em.”
