Once

   Once I was lost when I was held in his arms. Felt so free and no shame for being there. Once I even allowed  my tears to flow there. He held me tight. Gave me the squeeze I needed  to hold my head up.

    I had silence with him. I could just sit with no words, no sound. Just watching. Just breathing. My whole world in his 10x12 room. My heart bounced but my reserve was there.

    I knew he had already changed. I was not his world. I was not his love. I was not even his thought. Oh how I knew I stole his breath. But it wasn't enough. I wasn't his heart.

     Once he was my world. My breath. My thought. My heart. Now he is just a memory. Just a tear. Just a laugh. My breath, my heart died for a brief time. But I kept going. Being happy.
