Suffocating

I turned slowly to capture a glimpse of you
but  you disappeared and started  to fade 
Where are you?
My betrothed 
My one and only
I long for your touch
I am suffocating without you 
I can't breathe...no air...no air
My lungs are collapsing
Only you can save me  and become
what I need to survive this torment
Your love in turn will be my miracle
