The days of breathing get harder without you

I never did see how blind I was until my eyes saw you. How blind I was to the world, to beauty, to love. To the universe above us. To the world around me, I was kept in the dark by myself. Until a light that was you saved me from my darkness that was never there.

The days of breathing get harder without you. These pains I get from touching fire, never without you. I hurt myself because you hurt more. Somehow I am never hurt with you.

And these feelings I feel, feel unreal. They feel so untouchable, unreachable. But the days go by and your still remaining. I see that you shine bright, brighter than anything I've ever know. Time seems to stop when you smile, when you speak words. And I thought that I should never trust something this, but I can't help but to love you.

The days of breathing get harder without you. These pains I get from touching fire, never without you. I hurt myself because you, hurt more. Somehow I am never hurt with you.

I wonder what it is about you that makes me feel, that makes me love again, that makes me love you. Can you tell me why it would kill me to say goodbye, to not see your face, to not see you there beside me. My reasons of life have been cut down to nothing, and you are one reason. I feel like I can't give in, no matter what has happened I feel that I am finally living with you in my life.

The days of breathing get harder without you. These pains I get from touching fire, never without you. I hurt myself because you hurt more. Somehow I am never hurt with you.

There are no words that I can say to make you stay, no words I can whisper to make you love me, no words I can sing to make my love show how I feel. But I guess all I can do is say I love, and hope that you won't turn away or not say anything. And if so I will wait because I love you, I love you.
