You can’t be through me.
I am not the sunshine that shines on you and makes you grow.

You can’t breathe through me.
I am not air that fill your lungs and keeps you alive.

I can be for you.
I can be with you.

I can breathe life into you when that truth arises.
But you must take up breathing for yourself.

I can be ever close and o so very near to you,
So close that you feel my breath on your lips.

Don’t suck the life from me and take my breath,
As if it is owed you.

I can’t be you.
and you can’t be through me.
