Breathe

I breathe in and breathe out
but the breath isn't the same.
Your gone, you left,
it's driving me insane.
I count the days
'till I see you again.
I can't live without you,
you're my heart, my soul,
my very best friend.
You understand me,
when others don't.
You listen to me,
when others won't.
I love you
and you love me.
The distance hurts us both,
but you're my perfect 
kind of misery.
The lies make it
harder to get through,
but I know we can make it,
just as long as 
you stay true.
Promise me,
no more lies,
so that there's no more pain.
Hope you can't hear the crys
that my heart is trying to sustain.
I love you and miss you very much
and right now I'm hurting
because I can't feel your touch.
I breathe in and breathe out
but the breath isn't the same.
You're gone, you left,
it's driving me insane.
The lies make it 
harder to get through,
but I know we can make it,
just as long as you stay true.
