Breathing
well here i sit,
amazed at the world,
and not a word to say
to describe it.
for so long
i've been struggling
to stay up,
and now i jump even higher.
since you have stepped in,
you picked me up
and gave me hug,
and from that day on,
my struggle was gone.
but here lies my dilema
of pure joy and happiness
although i no longer hold you,
i must continue to feel you everyday.
you gave me a gift,
and i was allowed to keep it
simply out of your love for me
last night
we sat on that swing,
and talked like old times
i leaned on you shoulder,
and we joked about our friends
and their love lifes
and how much better ours was,
ignoring thats it's no longer there,
but we knew things were great
in between us
so many things we do
together,
almost by habit,
i'm glad that one of them
is breathing
i know that sounds silly
but you know what i mean,
you always do
even when i don't
that's what made us tic
and even now,
it still does,
ah it's great.
