Breathe for me
and I promise
to write our story
in the diamonds
of the night sky.

People
will gaze up
at our love
in wonder.

So please
breathe for me,
lest the story of us
becomes a tragedy
in this world filled
with silly love songs.

Breathe for me
lest the dreaded day,
where dreaming ends,
dawns.

I need more time.

Breathe for me,
and stay.
