Last night, I listened to you breathe
I didn’t hang up the phone
That gentle

in
  
out

in

out

The waves kissing the shoreline again
And again

Last night, I listened to you breathe
It was all I needed
That gentle

in

out

in

out

Had contained within it your face, your words, your heart

Last night, I listened to you breathe
I dared not make a sound
That gentle

in

out

in

out

A pulsating symphony of the most
Intimate sort

Last night, I listened to you breathe.

I didn’t hang up the phone,

For

It was all I needed

And

I dared not make a sound.
Thank you, Sarah Key! “The waves kissing the shoreline.” What a wonderful phrase.
