“A stone can be BIG like a mountain, or small like a pebble.”
 
Through his imagination, he shows her the beauty and magic to be found in such a seemingly ordinary, humble object. But above all, he tells her he dreams of being a little stone pebble – all smooth, and round, and soft, sitting snugly at the bottom of her pocket.
 
A little pebble she can hold
so tightly in her hand, to keep her company, to give her comfort, to make her feel brave and safe.
 
A little pebble she can carry with her – like a lucky charm, and a symbol of his love, which will always be with her.
