about

Inspired by The Fault In Our Stars, by John Green.

lyrics

Another breath, he Lifted his head
Another breath, his crooked smile said
Something soft and sweet and fresh
Like the air that held the petals as they fell
Like the air I carefully inhale
Like the air that we shared, when we kissed
And as I hold myself together
I whisper to my lungs
Stay strong for this one
Another breath and we’re still in this moment
Another step towards a notion
Another time and place, for our hopes to live
And for that moment we did
And as I hold myself together
I whisper to my lungs
Stay strong for this one
And as I hold myself together
I whisper to my lungs
Stay strong for this one...
And we are this, and this is it.
