Breathless

Dear Breath,
Where have you gone? Often times you escape my lips without so much as a notice or an utterance of goodbye...
But I don't miss you.
In your place a small smile has begun to spread from one corner of my mouth to the next. As I extol you from my lungs, a feeling fills my heart. Something that can truly only be described with this crease in my lips. You leave my lungs more and more every day and it seems as the days pass, I am loosing more and more control of my diaphragm.
When I catch you, my senses are heightened. I smell new things, see new things.
I shall keep breathing. But please, leave me from time to time. I like this: Heart racing, smiles cracking, fingers trembling, and extolling my very precious breath only to take it in again moments after I should.
Oh, my dear breath. You are so precious.. Take care, take heart. And, be careful.
Love,
Breathless.
