Breath

Breath
You know they simulate our breath
To make us feel at home

And rain
They simulate the rain
They dim the sun and soak us
To make us feel at home

And I swear I can remember
Some summer or other
Sun dappling through the leaves
And I swear I can remember
A time when I knew how it felt to breathe

Friends
You know they simulate our friends
So we don't feel alone

And you
The only one who's real
If I could close my eyes I'd see you
And that's how I would know

And I swear I can remember
Some dream for better sunsets
Some decision that was made

And I swear I can remember
A time when we knew there would be nothing
If we'd stayed

You and I are
Standing hand in hand
To see the sun rise
On the shifting sands

Wrapped in love and
Snug in haptic feedback
Stood together
Watching hand in hand

And you and I are
Glitchy and translucent
As the sun's brought
Gently into death

You are with me
We are here together
I can feel the caress
Of your
Breath
