With Every Breath I Take

There's not a morning that I open up my eyes
   and find I didn't dream of you.
Without a warning, though it's never a surprise,
   soon as I awake,
     thoughts of you arise,
        with every breath I take . . .

At any time or place
   I close my eyes and see your face
      And I'm embracing you.
         If only I believed that dreams come true.

Darling. . .

You were the one who said "forever" from the start
  and I've been drifting since you've gone,
Out on a lonely sea that only you can chart.
  I've been going on,
     Knowing that my heart will break
        . . . with every breath I take. . .
