Breathe Poem by Shijo Jose

I've finally found a reason to breathe
And the reason is you
I've found I can't live without air
You know the reason is true
Because you know when you are near
You make everyone else disappear
Can't you see that you make me blind?
But why can't I say it?

Please don't go away from me
Give me a chance to breathe
Let me open up to speak
But these cheeks are turning red
Searching for words inside my head
But will you agree to it?

I shout into the air
So that you will never hear
So many things I'll never say
So many dreams I'm gonna break
So many hopes I have lost
Sorry that I could not speak

Why couldn't I say it?
Why didn't I let this be?
Everything we were meant to be
The person I was supposed to be
The way you always were
Now you're too far away
Too far for me to say it
Just too far to breathe
