Hard to breathe

If I could possibly take this life alone I would,

now that I have been found by hope,

despair has no place inside of me.

If there was a way to make it home tonight,

I would be there with a smile,

ready to take in what you are.

If life has a purpose in my eyes I see now,

the only reason for reason is within you,

as leaves fade our hearts grow inside.

I am having trouble breathing tonight,

like the air in your kiss drowning my soul,

waiting for the next moment to take you in.

In your hands is the only key to my heart,

bleeding brokenly painted with love,

as in your touch my eyes can feel the day.

You are the purpose I dream of setting goals,

finding a way into your heart once again,

where we are home together so close inside.

When I try to see the stars tonight I am lost,

knowing how you shine in my life your love,

asking to redeem myself as flowers fade.

If the world ends tonight I know what I lose,

a way to feel you one last time before we die,

under the grave where darkness lets us go.

Here is my hand, may I keep your heart tonight?

Here are my eyes, can I envision your love?

Here is my forever, will you want it with me?

Here is my love, can you feel how deep it grows?
