to breathe

It catches every time I say your name
Or hear you say mine
I forget about it whenever I remember
That we've never truly met
And all the wishes in the world
Will not bring you to me
So I hold it in the hope
You will reach out to me
And close the gap a little more
Inch a little closer, dear
I've been holding on for so long
My words would rather die unsaid
Than take a breath without you
Near to take my breath away again
