Inhaling Your Breath

Not knowing what to say
I thought I would stumble 
My nerves, always my nerves 

Your cool demeanor
Set me at ease 
Even though, I rambled on

Expectations, do I dare
No I can't afford
To be a dreamer anymore 

To spend a little time
In your company 
Only makes me want a little more

My memories lost
I suddenly find
When I recall looking in your eyes

It was that depth
That drew in me
Closer to inhaling your breath

My imaginations, exceeded
Without having to speak
Feeling your kiss, so sweet

Your gentle embrace
My heart did race
As I sink in unknown passion

How you have filled
My mind with desires 
That laid dormant too long

This is what's needed
To nourish my soul
And keep my carrying on.
