Letters for No One: 8. Breathe

Bear with me

for I can't speak,

my hands trembling

my head dizzy

I started to feel the burn

in my cheeks and ears

Your voice, a symphony in my ears

I tried to make them out

but I only hear faint sounds

of butterflies humming in my ears

My chest beats so good

so good that it hurts

'cause when you're close to me

it's harder to breathe.
