You were 
My sigh of relief 
And now 
You’re gone 
And I’m sitting here 
Gasping for air

Hold your breath. Count to 10. Then breathe as slowly as you can.  I'm here.

It is fascinating, this whole human thing of sighing. It signals a moment of peace and maybe even joy. But it passes all to quickly. Thanks Shy.

Damned good write and how true. ! Lost track of how many I have gasped for air!

This seems to be a constant refrain from me, but this is a good opening stubb for a poem in my view. It needs extrapolation and embellishment...

Yes , this is what someone feels when he or she loses his or her loved one. 
Beautifully expressed !

The poet has expressed the pain poet is feeling for his loved one who is no more....he/she was so attached to the poet life that poet used to feel cared n secured in his arms... beautiful expressed &#128077;
