I have taken a breath today
And for the first time in days
It wasn't stained with the sound of your beating heart
I took a
( breath )
and it was mine alone
You weren't hiding between the pauses in the air
Or lurking around the edges of a word
You weren't tiptoeing behind my every thought
And I wasn't trying to find you out of the corner of my eyes
So I believe I might be
**Halfway out of the dark
It terrifies me that I am moving on
