"One of the most confounding places to be is the gray area between who you know and who they used to be. I swear I knew him, and I knew him like I knew myself. And who he is now, makes me miss who he used to be before everyone else knew him too." -Echoes of Your Voice M. Rivera

"I wanted him to be loved, for who he was not just for what he created. If you had known him back when he didn't have everyone swarming him you'd have loved him too I swear. His hilariously analytical mind, his goofiness, his smile. I just hope everyday that he still has people around him who care about HIM. And want to know HIM. That's what we all deserve, to be loved for the warmth we give off as opposed to the light you'd want to stand under." -Echoes of Your Voice M. Rivera

Sisyphus, He pushed that rock up, higher, But it always came down. Promising release in the end, but when, He got to the top he found, He was always falling faster, the next time. He lived with regret but I, bet for love, He’d redo the crime.

"I've come to learn that, it doesn't matter if we can give someone the entire world, if you let someone into your world, even the smallest piece, you've given them something they've always wanted. With time you come to realize the entire world isn't anything special without them in it. All I want is to be a part of a world where you exist, that alone is giving me the world. And when you have to leave me or I you, I hope you never forget to remember me because the thing I will miss most is the sound of your voice." - Lost Things the Musical M. Rivera

"I knew that I would never see her again, and I think that was the part that I would never come to full realization of. It would come in waves of disbelief, or sobs that felt like thunder inside my own head. What I'd give to be able to say, I was there for her like I thought I was. Because if she knew just how much joy she brought to everyone, maybe then....she would've felt all the love she gave away reciprocated." -Lost Things Musical
