exist.

i wish i existed

like i existed before you
not because i needed to
but because i wanted to

i wish i could see
see beyond you
not because i wanted to
but because i had to

deep
deep in my soul
under my skin
can't get you out
move forward
can't look back

stagnation is present
ripples in my water
a rare occurrence
run run
i need to be undone

so present
a breath
a whisper in my head
brings you back
back to me

i need to exist
exist before you
not because i needed to
but because i wanted to
