It’s a bit like catching yourself breathing
it’s something that you don’t consciously think about
it's just something you do
then suddenly you are thinking about it.
The breathing becomes difficult.
Then you have to calm yourself down
but it only gets harder to do.
You catch yourself thinking about someone
you don’t want to think about,
you shouldn't think about,
and breathing becomes hard.
I catch myself thinking about you.
I should be thinking of my lover.
But as your voice fills my thoughts
and I feel the ghost of your kiss
the breathing becomes hard
once again
