Please Don't Let Go... Poem by Emely Marie

You are my air;
Fill the space around me
You fill lungs
Allow me to breath

But when you're not here
How can I breathe?
Blood thinning, airways closing
I am no longer alive

As if I am underwater
Sinking deeper into suffocation
While reaching towards the surface
Unable to ever actually get there

And though I never asked
You to come into my life
I am thankful that you did
But our ending was unfair

We could've stayed friends
But my love for you is too strong
Now you have someone else
And I should be moving on

We were young and in love
And I'm not ready to let go
I want to be happy for you
But it's hard to believe you're gone
