Choking and gasping

I reach for your hand

Patiently I await the arrival

Of your strong and comforting grip



Wheezing and coughing

I stumble through the mists

With each staggering step

The reality of you slips further away



Rasping and panting

I call out your name

I'm falling faster and faster

I'm waiting for your strong embrace



Open and calm

I see your face, I hear your voice

I reach out and touch your arm

You're here, dear one, you're real
