where i have actually felt your breaking heart.

i can feel you now
with me,
being close to you.

or close to the streets
and corners you walk on
everyday

i hear your breathing even.

that familiar
rapid
and sometimes slow
but always deep
breathing
as if your heart is breaking
all the time

my eyes have long
memorized your eyes
on the clouds
that are gray,
that are pale yellow,
that are sometimes,
black.

my eyes have long
memorized your pains
in the air
that are heavy
that are light
that are sometimes,
absent.

and then as the sun rose today,
i was in that same corner
where i was
three lifetimes ago,
where i wasn't yet
just reminiscing
or seeking your eyes on the clouds

i was in that same corner
where i was
three lifetimes ago
where i have actually
kissed your teary eyes.

i was in that same corner
where i was
three lifetimes ago
where i have actually felt
your breaking heart.
