A Girl in a Forgetful World

Breathlike

I used to wake up every morning and think

About how terrible it was to be alone.

I told myself I was just taking some "me time",

To know myself better,

To let the worries of the world 

Bounce off my skin.

But really,

It was suffocating.

With no one around me,

I would stumble around the halls...

And yet,

There you were,

In my daydreams,

Smiling down at me.

I pushed the thoughts away, 

Blushing.

I never thought my dreams would come true.

It's breathlike,

Really,

Looking into your eyes

As we dance in the night.

It's breathlike,

Oh, darling, 

Isn't it captivating?

To stare at you,

To stand before you,

To notice the cute little freckles on your nose.

Everything about you is a dream come true.

It's breathlike.

The next day,

A bubble popped up on my phone

From you.

"Hey ;)"

We'd make cool conversation,

A work of art to me,

Because everything was perfect.

I was talking to you,

And that's all I would need.

And there you were,

Again,

In my dreams,

Smiling down at me.

Reminiscing,

I sigh,

It's breathlike.

We swayed in the moment,

All the while feeling this tug

That connected our hearts with a string.

We danced every time,

Smiling and laughing,

And biting back those words

That changed people's lives.

But there you were,

Looking deeply in my eyes.

You leaned your head on my neck,

Your breath hot and comforting in my ear.

"I love you..."

It's breathlike,

Oh, darling,

It's beautiful...

Perfect...

Happy...

Breathlike.
