Breathe

In a flash

A beat of a heart

The decision was made

A choice that can never be taken back

Breathe

The blink of an eye

and your smell was in my nose

Sending mixed messages everywhere in my body

Its a love affair that I just can't seem to get away from

I love you

then I hate you

Breathe

The decision was made by the time I ran into in the store

Just waiting for me to sheepishly say greet you with a smile.

My heart raced the closer we got

My thoughts bounced around

Reminding me of what the consequences may be

Breathe

But then I let my guard down even further

I let you dance with me in the dark

And dance with me in the light

I let you hold me closer than anyone else ever has

Breathe

Heart racing

words stuck in my throat

Mind rushing to find the right thing to say

Can't catch my breathe

as I watch you walking out the door

I try to catch you as your walking away

but I stumble because everything you do

still affects me

Breathe

A blink of an eye

a beat of the heart

a decision was made that I will never be able to take back.
