Breathless

I watched her from a distance afar,

concealing in my heart a dreadful scar.

When I can't smile into her eyes it doesn't

feel quite so right. I wish she wasn't

making me so breathless.

Whenever our eyes come together and meet

my heart starts rapidly on a beat.

My chest feels full of cottons swabs

and all my breath she always robs

leaving me so breathless.

And I get the courage to ask her number

so I text her while I fight off slumber.

I fall at last into the sleep of dreams

where her face is flooded by sunshine beams

making me so breathless.

And I found the strength to ask her out.

It was a mistake; there was no doubt.

Then she turned to me and she told me "yes."

At the movies that night, she was my princess

leaving me so breathless.

And a few months passed as I spent my time

and I wasted every single dime

to give her the life that she'd always dreamed

of having. And so many times she beamed

making me so breathless.

Then one dreary night as the rain fell hard,

and memories of the past pierced me like shards,

she leaned in closer to my warming breath

and she placed a hand on my soggy chest

leaving me so breathless.

Then we said the words and they barely came through;

at the same time we both said "I love you."

And when I could see only her silhouette

for the first time ever our lips both met

making me so breathless.
