breathless

somehow, you managed to take my breath and give it all back.

my lungs ache with the memory of you,

my soul yearns for the air that you gave me,

just as much as the air you took.

i breathe you in, you breathe me out,

and our breaths lace together in the atmosphere,

like our hands across your console.

i breathe me out,

filling my lungs with you.

they ache when you're gone

like a plant shrivels away without the sun.

it is though you are producing everything i need,

and i thrive best in your company.

my breath is yours as my love is at the core

of everything i do for us,

for you.
