You take my breath away

a physical reaction to an emotional attraction

The saying goes, you take my breath away.
What does it mean?
It’s just a phrase, they say.

I know better
Now I know for sure.
It’s possible to live
And not breath anymore.

The heart is raising so fast it can be heard.
It's pumping blood like a river down stream.
Thoughts are coming a million a minute,
All without a single breath it seems.

It’s just a phase, they say.
But I know better now,
you take my breath away.
