This Moment
December 18, 2014
On any other occasion
I'd breathe for the simple fact
that I need oxygen.
But, right now I'm breathing
to inhale everything about this moment.
And I'll hold my breath until
every cell in my body
has absorbed what I'm feeling tonight.
Maybe I'll turn purple and blue.
But I like doing this.
Whatever this is.
I like doing this with you.
