Favorite

It took my breath away,
How quickly you became my favorite person.
All in one instant you were here beside me.
And you had always been here,
Always been inside me,
But now I'm looking at you.

You are outside of me,
And seeing you is like seeing the parts of myself I have missed.
They have been in the back of my throat,
Waiting for you to speak them.

You give my breath back to me.
