You Are More Than You Believe

He says that he is hopeless,
But I know him, And I know that, when he says,
He wants to live less than he wants his death,
If I threw him in water, I know he would most definitely hold his breath,
Therefore, in my heart I know he is not hopeless but that his hope is harder to find,
In addition, that if I showed you all you could become,
I know that you would change your mind,
You will hit rock bottom,
But where better to start,
Where the only thing you can do is better,
Where all you can hear is your heart,
You have to almost lose it,
 to remember you have had it,
you will remember all the good and all the bad times,
so don’t wait for your ending,
until your last breath starts to leave,
 before you finally remember my love,
how much you liked to breath.
 
For my beloved DC.
