I have always hoped the best for you. It's almost like a mother's hope that their child will never lose their wonder. Never lose that hunger for more in your life, even if you get your fill. Every breath with you I can never take for granted. I hope you feel the same with me.
I hope the love we have now will ever leave you empty handed in time. I can't tell you how much that would hurt me. When we stand on the beach, I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean. If you let one door in your life close, I hope you let another one open.
I remember the lecture I gave you on faith, in others, in yourself, in me. I hope you always give it a fighting chance. Because without that fight, you'll let those obstacles in the future might overcome you. And if you do face those mountains, don't you dare settle for the path of least resistance. This life might mean taking chances, but they're worth it.
I was told that loving you would be a mistake, that we would only be hurting each other. But I don't care, it's worth it. Because if I let some hell-bent heart take you again, he'll turn you into the same man you were before. I hope that I'll be with you if you face him. I hope if he tempts you with the same false promises as Orochimaru did, you'll have the strength to reconsider.
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance. And when you get the chance to sit it out or dance, I hope you dance.
