There's Loss And Confession In The Wind Poem by Becca Bell

To me, losing you would be my greatest loss
But you you, you've probably never been mine
You came into my life like a cool breeze
Everyone knows that you can't catch air
But I'm a fool and yes, I tried
Just when I think I have you,
You slip right through my fingers;
Like air.
If I close my eyes, I can still feel your arms around me
Feel your breath on my neck
I replay you every time I blink
I hear you tell me to open my hearts
I feel you open yours
For the first time in a long time, I feel safe
Every fear that I had
Every insecurity vanishes when you tell me you love me.
So soft, and gentle
It's quiet.
So quiet that you're able to hear my breathless response
I want to cry;
In thin air, you disappear.
I envision the flicker in your eyes
Within a couple of seconds my world comes crashing down
Your confessions cut me with such ease
Even though your thoughts haven't become actions
I can't help but feel like I lost you.
It hurts so bad. SO BAD.
You turn the tables with your sexy swiftness
Make me feel as though I've committed the ultimate crime
You make my eyes melt
Make my ears bleed
Make my heart ache
And just like a cool breeze...
You're gone
You removed a pebble from my foundation
And collapsed the tallest standing pyramid in all of Egypt
But what did I do? I let you.
So after the dust is cleared, it turns to its resting stage
And I'm left in ruins.
Like air, like you, I'm gone.
