when you left

Posted on 22 February 201422 February 2014 by Bill Jones, Jr. Posted in my life, poetry

when you left
i kept forgetting to breathe
and my heart would skip
dancing in the waves
until you disappeared from view

and now, my love,
i can no longer breathe
alone

You leave me breathless and speechless, for a whole different bunch of reasons at different times. But leaving you was tough, as is becoming the norm. Each time gets a little easier because I know I will be seeing you again, but the wait always seems eternal between our coming together.
