Why is the heart the main reference to love?
I think it would be more accurate and precise
If we were to use our lungs as reference
The way she rips the breath from my lungs
Like a hurricane tearing its way through my head
The sudden inhale you take when you see them
All the moments had in between breaths                            
The moments that leave you gasping for more
More air, more of them
The slow exhale you release after they’re gone
Heavy is that exhale as it carries the last goodbye to their ears
Slowly and painfully drawn out
You know you’ll never breathe the same, if at all
Because they left you breathless
