An Impossible Promise
Brian Gibson Jun 2014
"Goodbyes are suffocating--

they are like
promising to never
draw breath again,
when all I want
is to inhale and
feel your existence
inhabit my ribcage

Why?
Because you are
a necessity to me;

like air is for lungs
like oxygen is for veins--
it's an instinct
that I just
can't contain."

I knew I loved you
not by the moments
we spent together,
but by the moments
away from you
that seemed like forever.
