as long as you're still breathing by Olivia Weinkeinkeep breathing
i'm beginning to find myself
within the rise and fall of your chest.
everytime you inhale i fall in love.
and everytime you exhale i fall in love
again.

Posted by Michelle Angelini on 07/02/05 at 11:49 PM Olivia, the simple intensity awakes my imagination so that I can put myself in the narrator's place. Breathe to live; breathe to love - a trip where nothing exists but the two of "us."
