love is a lung

 

 

I missed you

instantly before you

were even gone

always being the one to

look back and you

 

smiling already 

at hope and open

windows

 

he drew 

lungs; two

in perfect 

light

 

of course he knew

that love was

better oxygen

for you

 

ten thousand years is

a very long chat and after

we will dance and never

run out of anything

as silly

as breath

 

love is a lung

and what is

death

 

oh, inhale 

drink deeply and 

shout

while we are missing you

 

until

 

and can only dream

of heaven
