To be cared for by someone so deeply
That you can feel every breath they take
Is for you and you alone
I know I am still breathing for someone
Even though I haven’t seen them yet
My inhale brings them closer to me
And my exhale pushes those who are not the one away
My lungs protect my heart
From any offbeat breaths
Or thumps that come knocking
That don’t belong to me
My body will know when I find her
For she will take my breath away
Until she gives it back....
