Watching you sleep
Reminds me
How often
I forget to breathe
And not just in moments
When my breath
Is taken away
But in the moments
That are gray
In the ticking, tolling tempo
Of every day
And forgetting to breathe
Is like forgetting to love myself
And forgetting to love myself
Leaves me vulnerable
To the belief
That another person's love
Is more important than mine
And I can love you
With everything
But when I succumb
To the belief
That I am nothing
Everything
Doesn't amount to much
Yet here you are
Loving me
With your whole heart
The only way
You know
How to love
And I simply have to remember
I taught you that
