Hope Quote by Brandon Shire
““But I am your willing sacrifice, Dustin; I am the one willing to let you go in the deep hope that you will someday come back to me, come back to that moment and that understanding. Yes, I cannot breathe without you in my soul, but I also know that I cannot take your breath for you. I understand that now.””
