soothe in a reflection

oh how you elude me
love that you
might have been
might have
wanted to be
how did i lose
the way you
light up the sky
tucked in the crevices
just out of reach
i close my eyes and
i feel you on my
fingertips
and in these
foot steps
such a dalliance as
this deserves
the slowest of
buildups
i want to

savor this
just as i
remember

[repeat]

how does one
forget to breathe
