one breath, our breath<\/strong><\/p>\n

the moment i met you<\/p>\n

your breath became our breath<\/p>\n

my chest tightening as you exhaled<\/p>\n

opening as you drew life back in.<\/p>\n

you cried<\/p>\n

one breath, our breath<\/p>\n

my throat burned and my eyes blurred<\/p>\n

never had I felt a pain so deeply.<\/p>\n

we gasped<\/p>\n

one breath, our breath<\/p>\n

eyes widening, discovering<\/p>\n

brimming with the unknown<\/p>\n

seeing for the first time<\/p>\n

again and again.<\/p>\n

………………………………………….<\/p>\n

time walked with us<\/p>\n

one breath, our breath<\/p>\n

wrapping sunrises with bows of wonder,<\/p>\n

and sometimes hurt<\/p>\n

and frustration.<\/p>\n

but our breath always found the next breath.<\/p>\n

each was time’s gift to us.<\/p>\n

………………………………………….<\/p>\n

you spoke<\/p>\n

one breath, our breath<\/p>\n

every word danced on my lips<\/p>\n

hearing choreography in every syllable,<\/p>\n

every pause.<\/p>\n

you ran<\/p>\n

one breath, our breath<\/p>\n

faster, fuller<\/p>\n

my feet light in your tread<\/p>\n

barely skimming the path as it narrowed<\/p>\n

and widened.<\/p>\n

then you laughed, oh that laugh<\/p>\n

one breath, our breath<\/p>\n

uncaged<\/p>\n

unbridled<\/p>\n

unfettered<\/p>\n

i was intoxicated by that melody<\/p>\n

rising and falling with each breath.<\/p>\n

our breath.<\/p>\n

………………………………………….<\/p>\n

time will one day leave us<\/p>\n

one breath.<\/p>\n

until then, my hand on your chest<\/p>\n

feeling it rise and fall with the sun<\/p>\n

here i will stay<\/p>\n

listening, waiting, holding<\/p>\n

one breath, our breath.<\/p>\n
