I'm Going to Love You, Like Nobody's Loved You

I am proud of her as she walks everyday with her head held high, and I wonder if she's made it to who she wants to become. I am faced with reality and I know she has not yet become that person. Though countless flaws and mistakes cause her to fail; victories, defeates and love have won more battles than I'll ever know. I don't want this to be over, but I know that what's gone is gone and times between '03 and here change so far beyond either's reach. What's happened? What have we become? materialistic, desperate. So angry we have to fight to win. Firing back each insignificant flaw we can find to hold onto because neither arguement is stronger. I believe there is a bigger war to fight today then has ever been in history. And, though the battle lines have been drawn for centuries, they have now begun to get closer and closer while both sides take step after step backwards.
I can't breathe relief. I can't imagine the bigger picture, I can only focus on the desperate sighs of now. Her greatest fear is that she will never become who she was to be. She'll grow, and learn and do things differently. But not now, not when she can't close her eyes to sleep at night, worried of something unfinished.

When will I/she realize that it's not too late to be saved and dance in the rain?
