BREATHE

i listened as your voice
faded to silence.
then through the air
i could hear you breathe,
soft and rythmic
in my ear.
i closed my eyes
and i could almost feel
your soft breath on my skin.
i could feel the warmth
of your body next to mine.
i wanted to reach for you
to touch your face, your lips.
i wanted to hold your hand in mine.
i listened
as i willed myself to open my eyes...
pressing the reciever closer
to my ear,
i sighed--a quiet sigh.
maybe soon
you'll be near enough to touch...
until then, i listen--
i dont want to miss
a breath...

I like this one.

Sometimes you have to let go and move on,
But never let go of the memories.

This is beautiful.  I can indeed feel exactly what the subject is feeling.  And I was pleased to see your thanks to breezeinnc, who also sent me here.     It's nice to have mutual friends.

I thought this poem was extremely sweet. I loved it. Just picturing everything described within the poem made me smile.



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.
