He Took My Breath Away

Have you ever had your breath taken away? A moment where nothing else seemed to matter? When the earth stopped revolving and your heart began spinning out of control? Have you ever stood still and wondered why the others kept moving? They were caught up in a trance and couldn’t enjoy the show? They couldn’t stop and smell the roses or even hold a moment of time close to their hearts? Have you ever danced in the middle of your dreams? With a soul that was more kind than anyone you could have ever dreamed? A slow dance that never ended and you even came back and danced some more? He took my breath away…. Just his heart Nothing more Just his idea of what life should really be like and that he wanted to relive it too A million bad experiences exchanged for a million roses of friendship We are tossing out one million excuses and simply throwing our hats in the wind In our dreams… No pain, no bitterness Simple love and kindness A dance in the morning and a walk on the beach at night Ushering out the day of promise and hoping To get another chance of it again tomorrow He took my breath away... Every bit of his essence A kind smile and a simple promise I will never be the same How could I? I am changed forever and I like breathing this way One breath at a time One day at a time Pain buried at the bottom of the ocean He can take my breath away every day for the rest of my life I am standing here waiting About ready to close my eyes for sleep Ready to begin another journey with you in my dreams I am waiting Gwendolen Rix 12-4-15
