Don't Forget to Breathe

My fingertips tap an unknown tune
On the bottom of my half-empty tea cup
The drumming somehow
Leads my thoughts to you.

My hair rises up and down in the wind
Like my chest as I take each step
And I worry that somehow
My secret thought will be unveiled to the world.

Would it not be beautiful
If you received my love
Just by simply breathing air,
The insatiable element in your life?
