loving you is suffocating.
its like you have your hands around
my neck while you whisper 'i love you'
in my ear,
and i cant tell if my heart is fluttering
because of the way youre looking at me,
with those big blue eyes and baby soft lips,
or if its from the lack of oxygen—
your hold on me might be too tight, or it might just be because youre intoxicating words leave me breathless.

i cant breathe
