This poem is called
"Everything."

00:00:04.410 --> 00:00:07.380 align:middle line:84%
And I wrote it because I was
thinking about the cliche

00:00:07.380 --> 00:00:10.080 align:middle line:84%
that everybody has
their love story waiting

00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:12.270 align:middle line:84%
to happen because there's
somebody walking out there

00:00:12.270 --> 00:00:13.980 align:middle line:84%
in the world who's
perfect for them

00:00:13.980 --> 00:00:17.400 align:middle line:84%
and you just have to meet them
and then the love story starts.

00:00:17.400 --> 00:00:20.280 align:middle line:84%
And I was thinking,
well, actually

00:00:20.280 --> 00:00:24.720 align:middle line:84%
it might be that the real great
love stories are when those two

00:00:24.720 --> 00:00:28.938 align:middle line:84%
people never meet and don't have
a chance to screw things up.

00:00:32.220 --> 00:00:33.407 align:middle line:90%
"Everything."

"She was watching
the solar eclipse

00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:44.290 align:middle line:84%
through a piece of broken
bottle when he left home.

00:00:44.290 --> 00:00:47.070 align:middle line:84%
He found a blue kite in
the forest on the day

00:00:47.070 --> 00:00:48.705 align:middle line:90%
she lay down with a sailor.

00:00:48.705 --> 00:00:51.650 align:middle line:90%


00:00:51.650 --> 00:00:55.040 align:middle line:84%
When his name changed,
she stitched a cloud

00:00:55.040 --> 00:00:58.880 align:middle line:90%
to a quilt made of rags.

00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:03.620 align:middle line:84%
They did not meet, so they
could never be parted.

00:01:03.620 --> 00:01:08.950 align:middle line:84%
So she finished her prayer, and
he folded his map of the sea."
