Breathing you lasts a lifetime

Wanting you – twice as long.

The blind man now sees in color.

His weak eyes grown strong.

Breathing you makes its own rules.

Wanting you knows no laws

When two hearts dance together

They need no applause

I walked too many streets and days alone

Saw too many lives I wished were my own

Every hour the life that I wore was the thinnest fabric,

That so easily tore.

And I promised, I prayed and I cried

For just one chance to live days on fire

All the poets said it was true

What they didn’t tell me was I needed you.

Breathing you parts the waters

Wanting you

Clears the skies

That first breath of you

Changed all others

Days on fire never lie.^[1]
