Do it one more time
Close my eyes one more time
Take a breath one more time

Flutter within and whisper the sweetest dreams to me
I can't bury it when all I feel is it vibrating inside
A gentle hum rising up to meet a symphony
Refusing to be silenced
And maybe it will pass me by
But all it has is time to wait for me to stop listening to a lie
To hear this steady beat rising above all that dulls
Till I open my eyes and all I see is you glimmering
It's this air that fills my lungs
It's the briskness that allows me to breathe
When everything could possibly overwhelm me
It's this breath that pushes me forward into the next one
And the one after that
Layered with hope, some kind of supernatural hope
That allows my heart to dream
And my tired eyes to believe.
