Breath of Life

The speaker longs for human touch and feels like a woman again when thinking about their desired person. They had been emotionless for years until this person came along and awakened their feelings. The presence of this person has brought them back to life. They feel joy but also pain because they can't have them. They cherish the person in their dreams but can't be with them physically. They love them with all their heart and would worship them. I long for a human touch. It's been so long since I felt like a woman, so deeply desired. Now, as I grow older and I think it's all in vain, you've come and reminded me of what I sorely missed. For the thought of your touch makes me a girl again. The feeling stirring within my heart reminds me that it's still beating. Deep within me there are emotions which have lain dormant. You have awakened them with the essence of just being you. I remained insentient for year upon year, hardly existing in an automaton world. Your presence has renewed me to flesh and bone. You are my breath of life, my dawn of each day. How can I explain this phenomenon of you? It has taken my breath away, yet bittersweet is this gift. You fill my life with joy, yet the pain of wanting you never abates. It claws within me until I am weary with yearning. I cannot remember a time before you. It all seems like a nightmare from which you have roused me. I have blossomed once more in your healing light. To lie one night in your embrace would be heaven on earth for these aching arms. Never will I hold you, kiss you, touch you. But in my dreams you are mine alone. With all my heart I love you. With my mind I absorb you. With my body I would worship you. If only, if only I whisper through tears, you are my breath of life.
