Suffocation

Hold me tight, for I am suffocating.
You are the air I breathe, I can't live without you.
I choke when I am alone,
gasping for life,
but with you I feel refreshed.
Inspire me, rejuvenate me, bring me back to life
as you softly touch your lips to mine.
I need to feel your presence fill me,
as it takes root in my heart
and sends your love through my veins.
Surround me in your arms, and remind me what it is like to be awake
yet still feeling the dream of your affection.
