there are 24 hours in the day and every breath I breathe has the scent of you maybe not anymore It has the essence of you the absence. that's all I have left. the broken hearts say that sleep helps. but you do not appear in my dreams anymore and that scares me. I stay up till dawn to make sure the sun will still rise I take those breaths and I sleep until I can't take it anymore. because you are living and I want to be with you even if living is the only thing we have in common now. blood runs through my veins and 2 billion others on this earth, but it flows through yours too that is enough for me your existence is enough you.
