Breathe Me Again

A tender plea for love’s return—where silence speaks and hearts remember.

"Breathe Me Again"

Come close, love --
let the world fall quiet around us.
No need for words
when your heartbeat speaks
in the language only I remember.
You looked like a prayer answered
until you returned
like a promise the sky forgot to keep
--but never did.
Touch me like the first time,
eyes whispering what lips once feared.
Let me be your madness again,
your refuge, your breath,
the silence between two storms.
Stay--
not because I asked,
but because your soul already did.
And I--
I will circle around you
until love forgets how to hurt.
