IT’S HURTING EVERY TIME I BREATHE

by K. Praveen Babu
(India)

Why did you let me go?
Why did I let myself leave you?

It’s hurting every time I breathe
‘Cause I can still smell fragrance on your lower neck
This leads me to the warmth of your breath from your nose
This would happen every time we kissed

Why did you let me go?
Why did I let myself leave you?

Dying every moment
But living with hope
That we will dive into those moments once again
I regret that,
Why did you let me go?
Why did I let myself leave you?
