Breathing For Nothing

 you held me

the way lungs

hold our breath,

i guess

the exhale 

was inevitable.

i've never been able to accept the fleeting nature of everything we are as people; to recognize the temporary, even when things are crumbling in front of me.

i wanted so so badly to find forever in you. For i time i thought i had. But things have never worked like that, at least not for me. We could only love each other as long as we could hold our breath, and i guess my lungs were just alot stronger than yours.
