yesterday i felt your breath
whisper through my hair
and today i can feel your hand in mine. but it's been
so long since i've seen
your face.
the strength i have
is washing away.

Author notes
I think i lost something along the way, and i couldnt tell you how i feel about him.
he makes me cry when i dont feel like smiling and he makes me smile when i'm ready to just walk out of his life forever. He's that beat in my heart, he's the strength in my muscles that i wished i carried without him. He's the reason i breathe so unsteady, and he's the reason why i'm still wanting him to come to me, to walk away, to somehow make sense of all inconsistencies he's put me through.
he's the reason my heart is broken into a thousand tiny, itty bitty pieces, just waiting patiently for him to come by briefly and tape them back together with double sided tape. Maybe that'll hold me together longer.
He's the one I love, the one who loves me completely, but the one who doesn't dare stay in fear of hurting me further.
Fuck, he doesn't make sense.
