Breathless

Gazing lost in the city, I see you across the crowd

You, your signature leather jacket, tilted smile and crossed hands

It had been a while since I had seen you,

I wait to see if it is you, if I daydreamed

As soon as I know it is you, I run, run away

To my bubble, the home, to the place no one can hurt me

But my walls are far away, I run, I turn and there you are

closer and closer, I feel my heart beating, you made me feel

The loss of proximity, your perseverance

"I shall never let go", those voices resonate 

"I know,

 never will I find someone like you"

And there you were inch to inch,

trying to hold hands, I retaliate, 

"I shall hurt you", I said

"What hurts more is not be able to call you mine"

I turn to run, and as I do

I turn to see emptiness, 

Empty sheets and cold heart.

A dream it was.

Seems like I held on to nothing but thin air

You were the air, your words weightless

You hit me like a whirlwind, a hurricane,

and now I am out of breath
