still breathing

Never thought I’d need you like this

I pledged silence since the day we met

And I’m not one to compromise on my word

But my word isn’t something I miss

And if we’re going to break the silence

It’s safe to say that we can’t continue on like this

Never thought I’d want you so badly

I can recall avoiding you at all costs

But the cost of being without you

Has proven to be a greater loss

Don’t quote me on this

Because I’m prone to inconsistency

But at this point I’d go as far to say

That if the offer still stands

This time I’d like you to stay

Remind me how we got here

So far from our intentions

This isn’t what I had in mind

After all of those nights

Of trying to leave you behind

Funny how things change

Everything I wanted to lose

Is everything I need to find

This goes out to you

I’ve been absent for so long

That I’ve failed to notice

What I’ve missed since being gone

This goes out to you

Thank you for holding on

I never planned to need you like this

I never wanted this…
