I don't need you br to make me happy, br but I want you here br to help me breathe, br to chase away notions br that lovers and fools br fall from the same tree br like dried leaves br on dead branches. br You bring welcome light br into shattered darkness, br illuminating corners br so long abandoned. br And, without our dreams br everything changes br from mirages to dust br with each cold breeze. br You keep the pulse br of my fantasies br and I only want you br to help me breathe.
