It's Not About

it's not about the breath you take
or breathing in and out
it's not what gets you through the night
or what love is all about
it's not about the score
or who might win the race
love isn't about the breathing
it's who takes your breath away

it's not about the hoping
or saying all the prayers
it's the candle in the darkness
that's steady after it flares
it's the hand and heart you hold
after all else is said and done
it's the promise of tomorrow
after all the yesterdays are gone
