Breathe Again

Someone

Love me today, in this light
Don't make a promise for tomorrow.

Stop making a home in your past
Let's not live in our what ifs, what could've beens.

I don't want assurance of a future with you
I need you now, in this moment.

I just need a hand to hold
I long for the eyes that see, a heart that accepts.

I don't want the silence and the stares,
Give me anger, sadness, chaos—
Anything that would make love feel real.

I'm tired of all the pretensions
I need my heart to stay and choose,
To learn to give and accept.

Please be here now
In this place where I'm all alone.

Time's ticking
Moments are passing
And we are growing older.

I hope I meet you now.
