Breathe

Today, my brain forgot to tell my lungs to breathe.

My world has shifted for you, my dear.

A new day has begun.

You say you’re changing too

and much too quickly for your tastes.

Why don’t we just take things

slow? We lose ourselves too often

and doubt too much.

Let’s enjoy the now.

The feelings we have are real.

You pamper me

while I do my best to make you so happy

that your toes curl;

that your brain forgets

to tell your lungs to breathe.

Though we lose ourselves

in the moments,

let’s enjoy what we have.

I want every day

to be like today.

I want my brain

to forget to tell my lungs to breathe.
