Moments ~ Breathe

These moments
When I can't breathe.
Balling up
Into the pain,

I'm reminded that I've been absent
Too long
From your grace.

Completely satisfied by life
On my own.
I let you go
For life is
A pleasure you too enjoy
On your own.

Yet I gasp for air
Aching from

Inside out

To feel your touch,
To see your face.

Knowing you enjoy
Your freedom
I only desire
A glimpse to quench 

The thirst.

Knowing 

It will have to be enough
I set you free
Again.
Until the air
I breathe
Grows thin...

Without the sight of you.
