Love Poem: Breathe

Breathe

If I could breathe you away 
like a feather in the wind.
Would that signal the end
Or a new chapter to begin? 

Would that bring an end to the pain 
the endless tears I’ve shed 
Or would it signal a fresh start 
And a new life to be had?

Could that bring new meaning 
new direction, new life
Would that cement that you’re gone 
And no longer my wife? 

Or would it mean that there’s hope 
For a brighter, better us 
Now that I’ve learned to feel
in this process I trust 

What we’ve missed all these years 
all our hurt deep inside 
Stepping toward you now
I can no longer hide

When the person I’ve lost 
has really been me 
So much learned, so much gained
finally set my soul free 

If I can breathe you away 
I don’t know what I’d do 
Cause this world isn’t the same 
Not without you.
