Breathe In

She is always there for you, 

Like air in your lungs

taken for granted till that first breath

of a cold winter morning frost frigid air 

explodes and cascades deep within,

that halfway house between pleasure and pain

not so cocksure of itself 

your diaphragm slowly expands

till with an all encompassing glee 

you realise you’re truly alive,

She does that to you

everytime she smiles
