In order to breathe we need air
The major need of humans in order to live
We came into this world struggling how to breathe
And we leave this world catching our breathe
I wonder if my mother held her breath,
The first time she gave birth.
The same way my father held his breath,
When he knew his wife died when she was giving birth
We all have different reasons for
forgetting to breatheBut the first time our eyes met,
The first time your lips pressed against mine
I suddenly forgot how to breathe.
