You and I are one in the same
Yet you and I are one in two different ways
Where I am bold you are italic
Like the wind is the breeze
We are synonymous
Opening up is hard but in a way my lungs don't understand
Breathing is effortless with you
My lungs expand in the way your smile does when you look at me
As easy as it sounds, almost like a fairy tale
Fear is just as captivating
As easy as it is to breathe
That feeling is synonymous with drowning
So is it easier to fall in with your breeze, or to drown in your current?
