I couldn't breathe when I saw you again.
I thought it was because of the eruption of butterflies I felt.
I thought it was because of the way my words stammered out around you.
But it was neither.
I couldn't breathe because I was choking.
I felt like gasping for air but no amount of oxygen was enough to get rid of this feeling.
And it hurt.
Seeing you hurt.
- the feeling of heartbreak from someone who was never yours
