Warmth breath on cool skin
I tried to be cold
I try.

I fail.

Warm breath on cool skin
Soothes
Warms
Calms

I love and am loved

This feels real

This feels unreal

This feels complete
And immense

I hold my breath, deep in my chest
Holding it in with all my might
Waiting for the fall, waiting to exhale

Knowing that I can breathe
When I allow it

And he knows that when I do
When I finally do
I mean it
