To Love is to Breathe


To love is to breath

Without love living is unbearable

There is no greater pain than living without love

Being so lonely that you best friend has become

that bottle of jameson that was on sale last weekend

Being so overtaken with the thought that you are an unlovable person

to the point where your favorite song no longer has a meaning

You become dull

Cold

Harsh

Living without love shuts a person down

It rips their color from them making them an black and white tv show

without emotion

To love is to breath

But i said that already

The first time i touched you pale and cold hands i took a deep breath

This was the first time i have ever taken a deep breath

And with that inhale came back all my color

I see no need to buy the bottle that was on sale

and all the silly love songs have a meaning again

You have taught me how to breath

Love is to breath and i'd like to thank you for giving me the extra air
