Love is inhaling deeply and losing the ability to exhale
Inhaling the small details
The moments
The feelings
Anything I could breathe on
Yet i couldnt exhale
Better yet i wouldnt
Because i was afraid
Afraid
Of losing you
Of the moments
Of the memories
Of your love
Inhale
With each attempt I make, it would leave a burning pang in my lungs
It slowly suffocated me as I breathe in the unwelcomed pain
Inhale inhale
It was an overdose of emotions
A rollercoaster ride
A greedy attempt
I was greedy
Greedy of your love
It tormented you each time i inhaled
Each time I inhaled more and more of you
Because it took away your humanity
Inhale inhale inhale
It made you afraid
Afraid that if you leave
I would suffocate
Lose myself
Die
But I forgot
I forgot that you needed to breathe too
That you also needed to inhale the same love I greedily took from you
I didnt realize that you struggled to breathe for love
Love that's supposed to be meant for two
Till you died
Inhale inhale inha...
It was difficult now
Inhaling didnt feel the same anymore
Instead of warmth and comfort
I felt grief and pain
Inhale inha...
Then
I realized that i was mistaken
I was mistaken of love
That love wasnt something i should selfishly claim as my own
So I tried to breathe again
Inha...
Exhale
