From Never to Maybe to Never

Going from never to maybe is a thousand heartbeats pounding, mouth open and eager, a fluttery swoosh of air taken in and swelling your insides, the thrill of it intoxicating your senses.

When maybe turns back into never you don't notice it at first. How could that next breath not arrive? You hold still. And then the panic. You thrash and pound against the injustice. Extra blood pours out from your heart, rushing to your brain to sooth with any last bit left in you.

And when it's gone...

it's just waiting... waiting for a kiss to breathe life back in.
