When the sound of them breathing
puts you at ease
When the darkest parts of their eyes
Make your whole body full with light
When they laugh you feel the joy
in your own chest
When you catch eyes for a moment
When you can’t help but smile when you notice they are near
When you know what they are thinking and they know you
When they understand the pain you feel
And they want to relieve it
When you are torn apart by the things that have broken them
When you imagine a life that can’t exist without them
When you embrace one another
When you are unable to go on without the thought of these
That’s when
When you know you’re hopeless
