Oxygen

I feel somethings these days,
Not too often, but when I do,
I am left in awe, for in the past
I have only felt the lack of it.
My blood screaming for oxygen
but my lungs struggled to provide.
I felt the burn of that absence
as one might feel the heat of loss.
Now that ephemeral sensation I feel
I like to believe is that of my blood
caressing my withins in gratitude of
the oxygen it bears to and from my heart.
My heart, I was afraid was left a ditch
after tree had been uprooted taking awayÂ
some earth with it in the process. But now
it beats with new leaves and roots and life.
What lead me to you or you to me orÂ
us to each other I don't know nor wish to.
What I know is that I feel my breaths inÂ
my blood, turning into my heartbeats.
My heartbeats, I feel them more and want to
feel them even more now for it isn't just
my blood and the breaths which makes it beat.
My blood might still be mine but my oxygen is you.Â
