Living here day by day, you think it’s the center of the world. You believe nothing will ever change. Then you leave: a year, two years. When you come back, everything’s changed. The thread’s broken. What you came to find isn’t there. What was yours is gone. You have to go away for a long time… many years… before you can come back and find your people. The land where you were born. But now, no. It’s not possible. Right now you’re blinder than I am.

Hamilton: Will the world remember you when you fall?

Tuck Everlasting: Take my love, for love is everlasting.

Dear Evan Hansen #1: He’s like the son I might have known.

Be More Chill: You have no friends.

The Book of Mormon: Sweet Jesus doesn’t care.

If/Then: What a life I might have known.

Next to Normal: But he never saw me there.

Newsies: Who cares about your lonely soul? We strive towards a larger goal.

Into the Woods: I used to dream that I would meet a prince. But God Almighty, have you seen what’s happened since?

Dear Evan Hansen #2: And I know it’s only in my mind, that I’m talking to myself and not to him.

Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812: To love another person is to see the face of God.
