It takes a minute to have a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone - but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

Breathing in...
is hard to do
when Darkness smothers you.
When rocks
are crushing your chest,
and lies are weight down
your heart.

Breathing
is vital
to me and you,
But sometimes
impossible
when crying is all you can do.

Breathing is
what keeps me alive.
Living...
is what keeps me thinking of you.

Breathing is my life
and you,
are my hell.
