yep, definitely choking

I am experiencing symptoms similar to that

falling in love, I mean

the air rushes out of your lungs

almost like your chest doesn't have room for your heart

your eyes probably squeezed shut, too

but where you probably ended your epiphany with a smile, one of the beautiful and small ones you save for times when you're alone

I finished with a panic attack and a sleepless night

the kicker is that I still love you

I still love you

and I can't imagine a world where I don't
