I steal a moment from crying to breathe,
to remember I’m still alive
though how desperately I want to die
if I must live without you.
I just can’t see existing without you
so I cry myself to sleep
just to see your face once again-
it’s never as I remember it.
Every night, I feel your contact
as you touch my heart
in ways only you know how to,
caressing it as it beats for you.
