As long as I breathe

As long as I breathe

As long as I breathe, I hope in love.
As long as I breathe, I hope in us.
And if my breath was taken from me,
my life wouldn’t end---
for you are the life within me.

As long as I breathe I try to be,
the man you want, the man you need.
And as the storms blow against us,
just know that I try;
can you promise me one thing right now?

That as long as you breathe, you’ll always hope,
that you’ll let me be your everything---
let me be your love, your life within, and the one that has your heart,
forevermore---

As long as we breathe, let us hope.

“As long as I breathe, I hope” -Cicero, Roman Philosopher
