As Much As

Love Felt in Every Breath

By Rohitha LankaPublished about a year ago • 1 min read

As much as the heavy rain fell in the middle of the night

As much as I felt the cold in the middle of that rain

As much as they felt that warmth from afar

Did you feel it too? As much as my chest pounded

Even though we were far apart, our hearts were close together

As much as my heart came and kissed your cheeks

If you knew, I felt so much affection

Love is so close to me

As much as my eyes shed tears on a sleepless night

As much as the flowers soaked the red fabric on the pillow

As much as I released my love with a long breath

As much as my heart was torn apart by attachment

As much as my heart was hurt by a small word

As much as my hands were tied by my heart

As much as time ran by without me noticing

As much as my heart was drawn closer to you

Even though it was a word, I felt tender affection

Even though it was painful, I was held so beautifully

As much as I made room for you deep in my heart

As much as we were relieved by thinking about ourselves.
