Sometimes, I forget to breathe
I get so caught up in the moment
My eyes set on one thing, and one thing only,
The scenery turns into a blur
And you turn into the main focus
I forget to breathe.
With my eyes intertwined with yours
My mouth starts to drool
My mouth forgets how to swallow
The little things that I do every day
The things that I didn’t need to be taught
But with you in front of me,
I don’t remember how I’m supposed to do anything,
Just like breathing.
The elegance in your walk,
The peacefulness in your smile
The heavenly feeling that comes with your existence,
All these things about you,
That you don’t even appreciate,
These are the basic things you do,
That keeps making me struggle to breathe.
I open my mouth to talk,
But I have forgotten all the words I’ve learned
Staring at your luscious lips
I can’t imagine making a sound
With my whole body calling you,
Except my mouth,
My mouth just won’t call your name.
Just like my lungs just won’t breathe.
With every step you take,
A piece of my heart is following you,
But my legs won’t move,
I don’t want you to leave,
But my feet refuse to walk,
It’s now difficult to move
My legs have forgotten how to walk
And my lungs just won’t breathe.
My mind forgotten how to think
My mouth forgotten how to talk
My legs forget how to walk
I have just forgotten how to live,
Just like my eyes forgot how to blink
When I see you going with somebody else,
My emotions loses control of itself
And my eyes start to water.
I have forgotten how to stop.
When I want you, but you don’t want me back.
I have forgotten not to love,
Like I didn’t tell myself a million times already
love only brings you pain.
I have forgotten not to cry.
Because tears only show weakness.
I could not remember how to be strong.
Until you walked away,
I could not remember how to breathe.
Just breathe.
