I wrote this alone in the forest, hours from civilization and a million miles from you. You had left, but I still felt you in every inhalation, every exhalation. You had swept me up into the cosmos and left me there, suspended. Making your indelible print on my soul.

I still breathe you in and out, and live with you there in that space.

I was
The one you left behind here
The soggy road you travelled
was deeper than my sorrows

Stay here
Take off your clothes and disappear
Deep inside the waters
We can be each other

And in that bed
Your cheeks were flushed a violent red
I could feel my lungs inhaling you

I respirate
I respirate you
I respirate
I respirate you

I was the one you left behind here
The soggy road you travelled
Was deeper than my sorrows

Stay here
Take off your clothes and disappear
Deep inside the waters
We can be each other

And in these woods
I’m unchaining all I should
I can feel my lungs exhaling you

I respirate
I respirate you
I respirate
I respirate you
