My eyes were closed when you said
"I love you"
but at first glance I realized those words were like
Oxygen
quickly inhaled, exhaled...
How I wish to hold my breath!
Yet slowly it escapes at my attempts

Why do you chose to run
when there's nothing to run from?
Maybe...
you were surrounded by my embrace
for my love was to you, ambush
the light of my love unexposed to your blindness

Why do you chose blindness
Shrouded by the veil of your bitterness?
You cannot see that I have handed you my heart
in silver ribbon
while trying to piece yours back together

Tell me you love me!
My dear, hold your breath
the sunset waits for us with open arms
my hand is extended to your grasp
... Yet with a regretful glance
you touched your hand to mine
And slowly
Exhaled...
