I forget to breathe
In awe
Just at the sound of your voice
Saying my name
Words fail me
They never have before
And your voice washes over me
Like a wave
A natural force that lifts me
And carries me away
A trio of words
Hit my soul
Like a tidal wave
Then I breathe
It feels like the first breath
Of a newborn babe
A sweet burn in my throat
Cleansing me
It is my first breath
Since you breathed life into me
With those
three
little
words
