I count your breaths with the seconds
The clock echoes behind the sweet sound
Of the air escaping your lungs
My fingers trace maps on your skin
To places we’ll never go
These are the moments
That I’ll always remember
Between you and I

The author's comments:
Small moments with the one you love are some of the most powerful and beautiful ones you will ever experience. The beauty of these moments could never be fully expressed in one poem, but I tried my best. I hope people will be able to relate to these moments and learn to appreciate them.
