Thank You

My body's too weak to pull

myself up from the concrete.

My hands were too tired to 

put the pieces back together.

All I wanted to do was

to curl up instead and 

let the people pass around me.

To let time fly by until 

the world decides to stop spinning.

But you stopped beside where 

my trembling body lay and 

pulled my hand until I stood.

Weak in the knees, it threatened to 

crumble down; but you never lost

your grip and pulled me in tighter.

I wanted to surrender because

I was too tired to fight and yet 

you never gave up and instead 

you laid your smiling lips on mine.

The moment it did 

my body stopped from trembling 

and it took me awhile to realize that, 

so did my lungs from working;

until you whispered against my lips

"Breathe"

and with just one word,

you brought me back to life.
