I can't catch my breath
When you're not around
I feel so empty inside
Until our hands together are bound
Not knowing where you are
Seems to hurt the most
As I make a silent wish, on a star
Hoping you are safe, where ever you are
Closing my eyes I feel your touch once again
Feeling your hand run softly up my skin
And your whisper in my ear lingers every day
Of each I love you, to me you would say
Your voice echoes from each phone call
As we try so hard to not cry and stand tall
Not knowing what tomorrow may bring
We hold it together, for we have no place to fall
And the days seem to turn into years
For seven months seems like a life time away
As I am left alone in my deepest fears
Of the letter I never want to open, of a goodbye
I am choking on the inside as I smile on the out
Doing what I do everyday, as I go to bed at night
I pull my hair, as tears fall, your name I shout
For I cannot hold myself together with you not here
I can no longer breathe, as I drown each night in my tears
As the news comes on, I pray to god I don't see your name
For I cannot travel this life without you here with me
So I will hold my breath until I feel your hand in mine
And finally then, will I again be able to breathe....
