I get chills when I’m near you
Your presence is my warmth
Your smile is my joy
You are apart of me.

You’re my North , my South , my East , & my West.
You’re my escape from the world & when I’m with you I am alive
Maybe it’s your kind heart
Maybe it’s your smile
Maybe it’s your head on personality
Maybe it’s everything
But you’re apart of me.
Whatever this is , I love it.
I love the feeling of being free and the love didn’t come free.
I start to think that I’m chasing it.
Am I chasing the thought of you or am I chasing you?

As I get closer and closer I breathe pure air.
Pure air in this polluted world.
Crazy right?
Over a billion people in this world and we breathe different air
Air filled with love
Peace within our veins
Melody within our hearts
At ease within our minds
Again your apart of me
We connect not just with a touch but mentally
That mental connection is what I desire
The physical connection is what I crave
Every minute
Every second
Every month
Every day
Every moment
It’s a blessing.
