What a beautiful poem! Simple yet powerful, I really liked them this way.
I used to write poems (not that great) but it's really been a while. Hopefully I will get inspired one of these days and just, write it out. In the meantime, I will settle by reading yours. :)

Probably with the characters of PAPER TOWNS. They have a good plan in place. You got to listen to music when you're driving or on a plane. UNWRITTEN is a bookish song.

Yet I like to hang out with the songs I first heard of when introduced to music, instead of the newer ones. Maybe in our travels and meals we bump into my favorite artists and get to do some cool stuff like write, sing or just explore with them. At the end and even during the adventures I'd keep a journal of poetry and what we did. There I got everything I...
