Is it the breath that I take? Is it the air that enters my lungs?
The feel of being able to breathe, to feel the air inside of my lungs.
How do I wake up everyday without thinking of it?
It echoes through my entire body, but when I see you it seems that I lose it.

How can it be that I stop breathing all of a sudden when you look at me?
Why is it so hard to feel the air inside my lungs that I feel daily when our eyes meet?
Could it be that you're a breath stealer?

My appetite disappears, I lose the need for eating. The food no more becomes something essential.
Everything that makes me alive escapes from me for you are the only one who makes me feel alive.
Your kiss gives me the breath for my surviving. Your hugs give me the food to feed my body.
If I would describe life in a word it'll be 'You'.
