Breathe
By Ward Lane
“breathing sound”
She caught my eye as she walked in
I could not turn, stunned and paralyzed
Affixed on a beauty, I’ve never seen before
I couldn’t leave
I couldn’t ignore
I fell in love, I lost my breath
Beauty so pure, passion immense
She catches my breath
Frozen, my heart intense
I need to breathe
Breathe, breathe, breathe
Staring down the aisle, dressed in pure white
Walking with rhythm and grace, so bright
I reach out and lift her veil
I whisper softly, “I do”
We kiss forever, our love will never fail
Beauty so pure, passion immense
She catches my breath
Frozen, my heart intense
I need to breathe
Breathe, breathe, breathe
My child in my arms, I am full with joy
Looking up at me, a beautiful boy
Never letting go, holding so tight
I am all he can see
I will be his guiding light
She catches my breath
At every glance
I need to breathe
Can’t look away, won’t take the chance
Growing old
Our lives forever intertwined
Her beauty still pure, her hand always in mine
Her smile still glimmers with the flick of her eye
I am entranced
Still stunned and paralyzed
Beauty so pure, passion immense
She catches my breath
Frozen, my heart intense
I need to breathe
Breathe, breathe, breathe
