In every breath I take,
Some 4 seconds apart
In every beat of my heart,
About 75 times a minute
In every thought of mine,
70,000 of them a day*
And in each instant
Of every moment
Of the time in between
It’s you
And only you
- This poem germinated when I read somewhere that a human gets an average of 70,000 thoughts a day
Wow. I held my breath as I read. Heart stopping piece.
