Mm—ah… mm—ah… Still here… still here… I didn’t know the word for seconds, Didn’t name the night or day, But my chest kept rising, falling, And the fear just drifted away. No future drawn in charcoal, No past to carry home— Just the drum inside our body's Saying: you’re not alone. I learned the world by listening To the space between each beat, Where silence wasn’t empty It was where the calm would meet. Every breath said “stay a moment,” Every pulse said “you belong,” Time wasn’t ticking forward— It was humming like a song. Breath counts time before clocks do, Heart writes truth before we speak, Every rise, every return Is a promise we can keep. No rush, no race, no reason why— Just rhythm saying you’re alive. If the breath comes back again, We begin again. Repetition wasn’t boredom, It was mercy showing up, Like the earth keeps turning gently Just to refill every cup. No need to guess tomorrow, No need to outrun the past— If the breath keeps finding me, This moment’s built to last. In… and out… Nothing missing. In… and out… Still enough. The future waits politely While we breathe in what is now. Breath counts time before clocks do, Heart knows peace before the mind, Every beat a soft reminder: You are safe inside this time. No finish line, no proving then, Just rhythm holding us again— If the breath comes back my friend, We begin again. Mm—ah… mm—ah… Still here… Still here…
