Just seeing you there
made my breath catch in my throat.
But not in a good way,
in the way were I couldn't breath.
And that last breath might **** me.

inhale
exhale

My throat was closing up
I was gasping
trying to catch my breath.
I felt light headed
Like I was about to either pass out
or throw up.

inhale
exhale

I wanted to run away
and pretend I never felt
the things I felt for you.
I wanted to leave
so I could catch my breath again
to remember the feeling
of oxygen in my lungs
and to really be breathing.

inhale
exhale

But I had to stay strong
and soldier on
And pretend
the walls you put up
don't hurt me as much
as they really do.
And make it seem like the air
is easily passing through my lungs
as it is for you.

inhale
exhale

And I sit here and wonder
does this hurt you as much as it hurts me
then I remember,
no it doesn't.
You are fine.
And I am nothing more to you
then a stupid regret.
