where there is hope there is life

"I want to show you that there’s still beauty in this world. I want to take you on spontaneous adventures to places we never even knew existed. I want to drive with you through center city at night with the windows down and the music loud. I want to walk through the streets of the little town I escape to holding your hand and point out the places where I saw my life change. I want to sit in a coffee shop for hours listening to you talk about your dreams and fears. I want to lie down next to you in an open field and watch the stars. I want to hold you when you cry and remind you about how far you’ve come. I want to show you that not everyone leaves. I want to love you.”
