In One Breath
I sat comfortably in the chair.
A lamp illuminated the otherwise
darkened room.
Dancing shadow flickered across the walls.
It was so quiet,
I could hear my own breath.
I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply,
taking in thoughts of you.
Letting them run rampant in my body.
Filling me.
Completing me.
Mingling with every part that used to be mine alone.
Becoming part of me.
Upon this realization,
I reopened my eyes,
and I exhaled.
For it was never a question of loving you,
but of letting you in.
