golden slumbers

You know those times in life that can make you smile and cry at the same time? It's like when you finish a really good book. It was depressing to the point of tears, yet strangely beautiful. You close the cover and sigh. Your heart is empty, but full. You don't feel sad because it was perfect, and it has become a part of you.
