Between My In Breath, and My Out

Thoughts of you creep in,

And hover far longer than they are welcome.

I may not have allowed myself to love you,

But my body did anyway

And it reminds me.

With the shiver up my spine

When I remember that look.

And the way my head still tilts

With the thought of your breath on my neck.

You remain somewhere in the space, during the almost insignificant pause,

Between my in breath and my out.

And I have to remind my body to let go

To just breathe.
