You live on in other peoples stories ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You’ll live forever in other peoples stories Your friends, your family, the people who you made a difference in their lives ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The stories of you laughing and smiling and having fun The stories of your brilliance and creativity How you bring joy to the room ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And maybe in some stories you’re not always the good guy, maybe you’re someone’s bad story ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You live in strangers stories Passing you on a sidewalk and liking your outfit Seeing you confident on the beach Maybe even being attracted to you Maybe being in awe of you ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You’ll live in the stories that people tell over long distance phone calls And over family dinners on the weekends Maybe you’ll be in the stories people write on their phones at 3am ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Maybe you’re someone’s first Maybe you’re someone’s forever Maybe you’re someone’s intersection that they’ll never cross again ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You live a hundred lives that carry on through the world and by god darling, you’ve always been the greatest story
