Love is Lightheaded

I guess my breathing is manual now.

That’s it

I found it

Do you feel it too?

Wait, let me just breathe.

Exhale…

Exhale…

How do you breathe?

This very second is scary.

Wait, no, it’s something else.

Just come a little closer.

Just a bit.

Wait no, too close.

I’ve gotta breathe.

The closer you get, the lighter I feel.

Weightless even.

I could fly or even float.

I wanna know your name.

Because if I knew that.

I’ll have something to hold onto.

Something to never let go of.

You over there

We just locked eyes.

No, I can’t stare.

I turn away

I’m too nervous.

I’ve gotta turn back around.

To look at you deeply.

I wonder

Did you even see me?

OK here goes.

Oh!

He’s gone.

Huh! What’s this i hear?

This close gentle whisper

This wind brushing my ear

“My name is…“

Inhale…

Wait, my mind skipped the most important part.
