Air

Invisibleness...

Yet brush against me, inhale and breathe.

A nonchalant glance upwards, hoping...wishing the frame would fill with the shape of you.

This void, this void that is filled with this invisibleness...

Like a light finger gently brushing a cheek, gently pushing fallen hair to tuck behind your ear.

The color of a whisper

The taste of love

The scent of you across the miles.

You light up the room like a candle in a blackout; you light up the day like the first sun after a storm.

I am awash in you, the barest of emotions that can be detected from afar...but felt so intimately from inside...

The shape of a kiss

The dart of a memory stuck in my mind

It is lesser than need but greater than want...what is that gray area between...that undefinable word?

It is rhythmic

Like a heartbeat, a pulse...bloodstream.

It is alive and living.

Maybe it is a need.

Maybe it is required.

The you.

You rush by me, you come inside, you brush against me in your invisibleness.

You are air...

I need you to breathe.
