I apologize to everyone for my absence. My computer broke last week, and since then I've had a number of personal problems to contend with. I have to thank all of you for your patience, and hope that we haven't lost anyone!
Theme 1: The word theme is eyes. You may use the word on your icon, any variation, any definition. You may use phrases that allude to eyes or sight, but if it's not clear how the icon refers to eyes, please explain in your submission comment. An alternate interpretation of this theme would be to have your icon focus on a character's eyes.
Theme 2: You may only use the following images for this theme. Do not include other images in your icon.
Theme 3: Behind the cut are the lyrics to a song that you may use. You must have three consecutive words from the song on your icon, and at least one must be legible.
I'm sure that you'll return here in the end,
to the place where we watched the beginning of the world together
Just once in my life I reached that place for sure
so even if I let go of your hand I wouldn't be afraid ever again...
The memory pooling into the empty shell of my body
is shaping and filling me up a little at a time
That is the way humans take shape
by stashing into their hearts the feelings they don't want to forget
No matter how far you go
I'll always be here inside you
guiding you on your way
like a shining star
Even when I part from you,
I know I can always return
to the place engraved in my heart
so I will go on, without looking back
Sweetly and bitterly you filled my empty heart
with the memory called love
Just once in my life I reached your heart for sure
so I'll never be afraid to reach out my hand ever again...
Even if I can't find it right now
I still have something that I hold dear:
the memory of the night
when I just held you tight
Even at the times when we're apart
I'll always be here inside you
Standing by your side and guiding you
like a shining star
