After All These Sunsets


How can it be
after all of these years
you continue to surprise me
you continue to remind me
that loves expands 
it changes form
and reinvents itself
again and again.

Collapse

 I feel the thought of you press against my chest, from the inside out, causing my breath to tighten. As I fight the urge to run to you, collapse somewhere near your skin, so that I might breathe again.
