My only breath

My heart beats louder
everytime i talk to you
without you in my life
i wouldnt know what to do

you give me hope and strength
whenever im not okay
you give me love and reassurance
to make it through each day

you reside in my heart
and someday in my arms
i love the way you keep me
far away from harm

even when im sick
and scared half to death
i know your still there
cuz you are my only breath
