Inhale……..Exhale

inhale……..exhale

When I leave his presence I take a piece of him with me. Like a master thief my spoils hidden in plain sight...draped across my flesh, seeping into my skin, tangled in my hair as his fingers were just hours, even moments before.

inhale……..exhale

Not forgotten but displaced for a time, he exits my mind only to return as a subtle shift in my posture has him knocking once more. Laced into my thoughts, interrupting the process to rearrange my words, infiltrate my memories and leave his mark on my senses.

inhale……..exhale

A priceless acquisition destroyed by the touch of warm water and I must return to him to plunder again. To wrap myself in the treasure he doesn’t even realize he possesses no matter how often I rob him of it. A moment in his embrace…I stealthily pickpocket his person taking my prize for physical contact.

inhale……..exhale

And I savor it again…until it fades like it always does. Driving me back…back into his arms. I lay my head on his chest and…

inhale……..exhale

He settles my nose, seizing my lungs. Were this water I would surely drown for I refuse to hold my breath and deprive myself of this…his essence…his scent. I breathe him.

inhale……..exhale
