My baby (Short text)

Air

Just another breath.

I feel the air filling my lungs with every inhale.

I remember when I asked you to lay on your chest,
my neck very close to your mouth.

With every exhale you did,
I felt your warm breath on my neck,
causing goosebumps all over my body.

And now, every time I breathe I think of you.

How it felt laying in your arms,
and how it felt when you stroked my back.
Unfortunately breathing is a necessity in life.

So, with every minute that passes by,
I think of you,
but luckily my death comes nearer with every breath as well...
