After, over a year…

I had to tell myself to breathe

Focusing on each beat of my heart

You showed up as a light

Shining in so many more ways

Than physical

I breathed for the first time

In over a year

I felt my body around me

I could sense each heartbeat

As it all

Naturally set in

You walked towards me

Gave me a hug

I could’ve died

Right there in your arms

I took your face into my hands

Searching for answers

Like a lost soul

You’ve ever met mine

Breathe

Invitation to meet the parents

The true judges

Breathe

“Yes”

Introductions run smoothly

Peace sets in

As I take my place

Right next to you

Set in the

Alcove of your

Being

All of you

I just want to

Hug you

Kiss you

Never let you go

Going for a walk

A moment

To take you all in

As I take charge

I feel your lips

Gently greet mine

A long lost friend

United

Becoming more personal

Taking a drug

After a year

Of being sober

I want more

Yet.

You are

All I need.

The stars continue

To shine

The moon acts as a guide

Our hands eventually fall into place

As we become

More synchronized

More organic

One another

As if the year

Had not passed

So much changing

Afraid if I breathe

Unevenly

Out of sync

Reality

The world

You

Will come crashing down upon me

Living, breathing, being

In the moment

Alone with

Your

Overwhelming

And

Breathtaking

Kisses

I don’t want anything

Anyone

My life fulfilled

By a single

Kiss

Only satisfied

From

And

By

You
