Letting in

Do I hold breath away from your touch so warm and cold?

Is it possible to break before bending to what we are?

Is this the only fear left to endure together,

as life fades to seconds just before we die.

If this is a dream I have inside of you,

please never wake me up without a kiss.

Can this be the realization of what reality can be?

Are you my ghostly love embracing the light again?

I stand before the emptiness vacant of hope,

as life makes her way into this dream of us.

When I hold you there is no way I am letting go,

as breathing lives on our destiny is quite clear.

Do you still see me when you look into my eyes as I cry?

Can you feel the understanding so misunderstood?

As I wait in the shallow water of your love I know,

nothing makes a way while we don’t let go of life.

Stand with me tonight I won’t let you down,

just remember who we are, we are each other.
