Breathless
Sometimes love is not breathing.
It's the beats between breaths--a steady drummer's heartbeat
Looking up at you,
As we're standing around, silly,
Pushing away the night to spend more time together,
I know I'm breathless.
Joy fills my lungs instead
Of air
And you, you're smiling
I cannot fathom breathing and
Letting go of the moment
This moment.
You're perfect.
We're standing around; yet
Your pure unfiltered laughter
That laughter without worrying what others hear
I don't want to end this moment, won't let go of this standstill snapshot of our lives.
Don't let the moment go, I won't
Let breath become air.
