short breath

The air is the most powerful thing in the world
 It manages to control everything without being seen
The air is the purest thing that feeds us all, without judgment
 It opens it arms to sinners, righteous and the not so certain.
No matter how invincible it may be it will always be around.
I can’t see it, I can’t touch it but it sees me, it touches me.
It speaks to me when I listen carefully and sometimes it sings.
The air makes me believe
The air is faith I don’t need to see

The air is my friend one I never want to lose
 I am loyal to it without a choice.
I am desperate to be in its presence.
The kind of love I have for it is till death.
I need it every second, I live for it
It is the only thing that can question my love for another
If it means losing the air I breathe
And just try holding your breathe for a minute
The air is my greatest addiction
The air is life and my life depends on it.

It puts a smile on my face when it dances around me
 Joy it always brings when it meets me at the door
It controls where I want to be being it hot or cold
And it hurts when it leaves me all alone.
 It has a hold on me.
It sometimes embarrass me by lifting my dress  
And I can’t control the way it makes me feel.
The air is love and Love has always been in there.

The air is not evil to me, but evil I sometimes bring to it.
But it forgives me and refreshes itself for me.
And eventually makes it disappear
It never wants to see me cry and quickly dries up my tears.
It can tell when I am sad, it gets so cold
 And when I am angry it can’t be hotter.
The air knows me more than you do
 When I am dying it can be the only thing that saves me.
When I am alone it holds me,
When I am mourning, it hugs me till I feel my skin rise up to hug it back.
The air is the only friend a lonely soul will need.
The air is full of the hope I always reach for

I saw you as the air and made u my everything
Cos with you as my air I thought we could pull through everything
But I was wrong cos you are only human
You are not the most powerful or the purest
I fooled myself only to realize
The air will not break my heart
The air is not selfish and insensitive
The air loves me naturally
It doesn’t choose to be with me or not
You cannot always be there when I need you.
And my life cannot be in your hands.
 So why do I need you so badly,
Why am I so desperate to be in your presence?
Why do I live for you like my whole life depends on you?
The air is not you and I am sorry I made u my air
That’s my mistake, which only seems to hurt me
Cos you are not here now and it’s hard for me to breathe.
