This may sound old and tired, that someone's life was changed 由 an anime.

But mine was.

Back in 7th grade, when I first saw FMA at my 老友记 13th birthday party I was awe-struck.

Ours is not made
Of 玫瑰 and candles
Or daydreams dipped
In sunset's gold.
Ours is not spun of fairytale's flax
Or starry gazes to fix and hold.

And with clouts and embraces applied when necessary,
We steer our friendship into deeper waters

For ours is the journey
Comprised of pain and promises,
Tears...
