hold me back no longer

I can't breathe the bitter-sweet air that give me life,
because when you hover over me I'm not quite sure how.
I can't sing the beautiful melodies of the birds,
because your reactions make me feel as if I am out of tune.
I can't live when your around,
but I die when you leave.
I can't swim in the oceans, or tread in the seas,
unless your by my side,
but yet I drown in your presence.
I don't believe in non-existence,
but yet i have faith, and I will keep my faith, because that is all
that I have left.
I will cling to my faith until you wither away,
and I am revived by the bitter-sweet air, and then
I will finally begin to live.
