Dear Page,

You were the one
that made me realize
how many death's
we humans can die in one lifetime.
Dozens, hundreds, even thousands
until that moment where we
take our final breath.
As humans, it's the little things
that breaks us.
Like depression and heartbreak.
Or the sting of repeated failure.
Little in the afterlife.
But big, so big,
that they kill us in real life.

You were the one
that made me realize
how strong we become
after rising from the ashes
time after time.
Dozens, hundreds, even thousands
until that moment where we
take our final breath.
As humans, it's the little things
that lifts us.
Like happiness and love.
Or the purity of jubilant success.
Little in the afterlife.
But big, so big,
that they give us a reason to live.

Page, you didn't have to save me
the way that you did.
But, you did.
And I'm thankful for that.
Page, you were the one that showed me the beauty in warm yellows
and the ability to rearrange in the face of defeat.

Thank you, Page.
Thank you.
