Never be able to perform

2042

‐ And what is it‐‐
what is this one about?

2043
01:19:01,190 --> 01:19:04,790
‐ So tonight's poem is actually
an ode to my sister.

2044
01:19:04,820 --> 01:19:06,890
‐ Are you close to your sister?
‐ Very much.

2045
01:19:06,930 --> 01:19:09,690
She's here with me now.
‐ Oh, she's backstage?

2046
01:19:09,730 --> 01:19:11,300
‐ Kind of.
[chuckles]

2047
01:19:11,330 --> 01:19:14,530
‐ Well, we already love you.
Make us love your poem.

2048
01:19:14,570 --> 01:19:16,770
‐ Beautiful,
I got you for that.

2049
01:19:28,710 --> 01:19:30,850
I have two facts for you.

2050
01:19:30,880 --> 01:19:35,050
One, I'm 6 feet tall, and two,

2051
01:19:35,090 --> 01:19:37,790
love is the most vulnerable
thing one will ever have,

2052
01:19:37,820 --> 01:19:40,660
and you must learn
to hold onto it loosely

2053
01:19:40,690 --> 01:19:43,560
so when it leaves,
it won't exit so painfully.

2054
01:19:43,600 --> 01:19:48,330
On July 14th, 1996, an angel
was brought to this earth.

2055
01:19:48,370 --> 01:19:50,540
Her name,
Danielle Marie Gibson,

2056
01:19:50,570 --> 01:19:53,200
but I only know her as Puff.

2057
01:19:53,240 --> 01:19:55,740
Her smile is as wide
as the universe.

2058
01:19:55,770 --> 01:19:57,840
Her eyes, they glimmer
like the stars.

2059
01:19:57,880 --> 01:20:00,850
She is my world and my sister.

2060
01:20:00,880 --> 01:20:03,820
I, just four years old
at the time,

2061
01:20:03,850 --> 01:20:05,680
learned what it meant
to love selflessly

2062
01:20:05,720 --> 01:20:08,750
for on days on which
my strength was but knee‐high,

2063
01:20:08,790 --> 01:20:11,290
seeing her smiling face
would make my soul fly,

2064
01:20:11,320 --> 01:20:12,990
but...

2065
01:20:13,020 --> 01:20:17,360
on March 23rd, 1997,
I'd been ground bound

2066
01:20:17,400 --> 01:20:21,200
because she left Earth to go
back home amongst the stars

2067
01:20:21,230 --> 01:20:23,200
right next to God,
but I was left here

2068
01:20:23,230 --> 01:20:26,370
to manufacture wings
out of tears and broken dreams,

2069
01:20:26,400 --> 01:20:28,210
yet I'm still haunted
by these nightmares

2070
01:20:28,240 --> 01:20:31,040
'cause I have
a really creative mind,

2071
01:20:31,080 --> 01:20:33,710
and sometimes it designs
these alternate realities

2072
01:20:33,750 --> 01:20:36,510
where she is still here,
still alive,

2073
01:20:36,550 --> 01:20:38,650
and all the things
I wish we could've done

2074
01:20:38,680 --> 01:20:41,550
are played again and again
and again,

2075
01:20:41,590 --> 01:20:44,290
and I'm tired of playing God
'cause I gotta come to terms

2076
01:20:44,320 --> 01:20:46,790
with the fact that my sister
ain't never coming back.

2077
01:20:49,030 --> 01:20:51,430
And that's the cost of love‐‐

2078
01:20:51,460 --> 01:20:54,270
caring for someone so much
that you can't imagine

2079
01:20:54,300 --> 01:20:56,130
living life without them.

2080
01:20:56,170 --> 01:20:58,470
Staring at a grave like,

2081
01:20:58,500 --> 01:21:00,740
how about I trade
my six feet for yours?

2082
01:21:00,770 --> 01:21:01,810
But that's not real.

2083
01:21:03,270 --> 01:21:06,610
And I know I said earlier
to hold onto love loosely

2084
01:21:06,640 --> 01:21:09,180
so when it leaves,
it won't exit so painfully,

2085
01:21:09,210 --> 01:21:12,150
but if this pain
and these memories

are all that I got left of you,

2087
01:21:14,590 --> 01:21:17,290
I won't never regret
these scars

2088
01:21:17,320 --> 01:21:19,260
from just trying
to hold onto you.
