Let Me, Catch My Breath

Excuse me Miss, Can you, Wait, Just a moment, And let me, Catch my breath? I said, Wait, Just a moment, And let me, Catch my breath. Let me try to, Capture the air, That you’ve, Torn from my breast, Let me try to find a way to, Refill my chest. I said wait, Just a moment, And let me, Catch my breath. Oh please can’t you wait, Just a moment, And let me, Study you? Let me study you like a brand new book, Let me study your hair, Your eyes, Your look. ‘Cause I swear right now on my grand daddy’s grave, You’re the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen, And, I aint that brave. But I just had to tell you, That you made my day. And if I died right now, It’d be a happy death. So won’t you please, Wait just a moment, And let me, Catch my breath?

Notes

This was originally intended to be a spoken word piece, and of course every time I read it I hear it in my head as such,  so I'm not entirely sure that the cadence and timing translates all that well in the written form.
