lived it for you
It’s a funny thing, what you’ve been able to do to me. I used to listen to the bass guitar without wanting to hear you play it yourself. There are only certain small parts that I remember about the life I had before you.
I don’t know if you can tell the amount of relief and gratitude I feel knowing that the difficulty I endured in the past led me to you. You know, I didn’t have to put up with those things. I could have curled up and surrendered - in fact, I attempted to do so many times. Yet, the hope of finding purpose within a friend’s soul stayed with me. It was you, Jimmy. All along, you really existed. From the depths of my being, I knew you were there. You kept me fighting.
