Charlie

In your eyes I see pure and youthful joy

In your voice I hear the rawest emotions

Even when we're hundreds of miles apart, the mere though of you gives me strength

It's because of you that I know where I want to go in life

It's because of you that I can stay strong until I get there

I don't know why it's you that inspires me

What makes you different than every other starving musician

I beleive it's something more than the simple fact that I've met you

It's more than the way you have real conversations with fans and strangers

You inspire me because you truly care about these fans

These strangers

This stranger

You inspire me because when you smile, the whole room gets bright and warm

You're like wood on a fire

You inspire me because you aren't afraid of anything

Not of failure

Not of ridicule

Your words inspire me

It's only been three years

But you've told me more profound truths than I can count

It can all be summed up in two words

Love

and Life

You inspire me in the way you love everyone

In how feircely you love those closest to you

You inspire me in how you live

In every moment you that breathe

You live life to the fullest

You live unapologetically and truthfully

If, one day

I were even half the person you are

I would be happy

You'll always be my inspiration,

Charlie Greene
