Next to you

Standing next to you,
I feel like I'm breathing for the first time,
Live again,
Not just another boxed in lie,
And it feels so natural,
So very right,
It's like seeing the sky,
Straining for the light,
And having it explode,
A cascade of fireflies,
Raining in my eyes,
And even when I close them tight,
I still see your silhouette,
Against the blooming night.
