A Single Breath

I wake and think Of everything anew. How in my heart That love for you once grew. Your eyes were burning With the brightest flame. I'd search for answers When you'd call my name. We learned together how we both could Breathe. The air and happiness to each bequeath. The oxygen was just enough for two. My world was vibrant. Everything felt new. I breathe the air Of only your great love. That filled my veins with crimson From above. The world was shining. You became its light. We lost all calm In our sheer delight. I didn't understand back then, You see. I'd found my harbor, my safe place to be. A single breath we shared for us to Own, and all the magic Was in that Alone. I won't forget those days of sweet Romance. You grew still dearer With each passing glance. I was prepared To give the world away for one more loving, Happy, perfect day. My heart, which once was open and so free, Was stitched forever by our love, You see. With you, it felt as if I lived again And eased the memory Of former pain. I breathe the air Of only your great love. That filled my veins with crimson From above. The world was shining. You became its light. We lost all calm In our sheer delight. I didn't understand back then, You see. I'd found my harbor, my safe place to be. A single breath we shared for us to Own, and all the magic Was in that alone. Like falling rain, Our love just slipped away. But still my soul refused to sink or stray. That breath, I still remember our shared breath. A bright-lit memory That conquered death. Though years may stand between us Like a wall, I won't forget you. Not ever. Not at all.
