"conclusion (breathing you)"

my life crashed
i was falling
i had jumped
jumping
like i always do
wind screaming from my lungs
you the cement
i crash
but a little bird
told me where you were
told me
i jump too much
i jump too much
slow down
and you
are still the cement
but i'm no longer
hurting
i treasure you
i love you
i'm afraid of crashing down
into you
you already have me
why can't you see
i've fallen for you
i've fallen so deep
you swallow me
i've drowned
you take me to the airless skies
you bring me down
but i'd never give you up
i don't think i can
a bird can't fly without air
