I'VE BEEN (2)

I've been

breathing for the sake of living,
opening my eyes for the sake of seeing

hearing for the sake of listening
and biting for the sake of eating.

But I dream of you,

for when I can
breathe for the sake of feeling your heartbeat,
open my eyes for the sake of looking into your eyes
listen for the sound of your voice
and bite for the sake of nibbling on your lips.
