Moments that take your breath away
Aren’t always happy ones
They are close to death calls
Where your lungs refuse to inhale
Refuse to draw air into them
And leave you gasping
For that colourless, odourless substance
That grants life everyday
To different people
Moments that take your breath away
Aren’t always magical ones
They are those near death experiences
Where you watch loved ones' hearts
Break into a million pieces
At the thought of an existence without you
They are those moments
Where you fear dying least
But being forgotten when you leave most
Moments that take your breath away
Aren’t always pleasant ones
They are those moments where
The acquaintances you refer to as friends
Depart from your clutch
Pulling your heart strings
And taking pieces of you with them
Moments that take your breath away
Can be heartbreaks
Moments when your chest caves inwards
And the oxygen inside your body refuses
To circulate your body
And your organs slowly shutdown
Refusing to give you life
But do not dwell on them
Dwell on brand new days
An extension of your days on earth
Being granted to you
Where love is shared with you
When smiles radiate positive energy your way
And beating hearts rejoice with you
Those are the moments that give you life
