I want you from your hair to your nine toes
As one of them is mine wherever you
Opt to go, leaving me behind; it goes
Without saying, except that my love grew
As soon as I held you close to my chest
Where you now reside; a third lung breathing
For more air, heading towards your left breast
Before the right one adds to my wreathing.
As you walk away from me, I dissolve
Into a half being bereft of love
Feeling that my life will from now revolve
Around your clouds, as you will be above.
I wonder if our love can overcome
Both space and time in lieu of going numb.

Dedicated to my first love.
