I held my breath the other day To see if I could keep it forever. I held my breath to see if I may Hold you in me just for forever.
I inhaled you like smoke Letting you spread through me, Drinking from my pipe of Those moments spent in love With you. You were a sweet Burning in me. Awaiting only the time we would meet, And I would be with you, you see.
But I was drowning in you. Lungs burning, Your sweetness killing meβslowly. I need to let go, but I need you too.
With a heavy heart, I release you from me. I exhale you, and I breathe in reality. Because keeping you is toxicβ A captive bird dies, But in me still, I can see your eyes.
You were like a breath, in a way. As soft as the wind. As redolent as the smell of roses In spring. And as gone as yesterday. You were like a breath.
And yes, I still love you darling. I love you to death.
