My Life - Your Life - Together

I realized today That I was indeed “Breathing just a little And calling It My Life.” For let the truth Be told That I don’t want To breath Just a little. I want to take Huge, gasping breaths And fill my lungs To their capacity. This realization took All but a Moment’s reflection. Just a moment To completely And utterly Understand That each of My breaths Can be seen As an opportunity To start anew. I have been Wasting These precious Opportunities. It was then I decided. And I have Decided. With the very Next breath I will start Anew… To have a connection With someone That is so natural That it is only Understood At the level Of the soul Is truly a great feat Between Two human beings. Don’t you think? Only a few Are even aware That It exists. Fewer yet Have had The opportunity To experience It. I feel we have That connection. How can you deny? Do you deny? If the winds Of change Ever happen To blow Into our lives And sweep us upon Different paths Where the journey Of our lives Would change And whether This change occurs In this lifetime Or the next Or even quite possibly The one thereafter You are to know That I would want To stand Beside you Hold your hand Close my eyes And deeply Breathe in The same Life That you do. With that said I have now Begun To Live more Than just a little.
