Linda, this is really powerful and meaningful. I feel it is personal aswell and many people can relate to it. When you love/lust someone even their scent is beautiful and I don't mean their aftershave/perfume I mean their smell.

by hyperventilating into the scent of you
I could momentarily

breathe.

Loved this part because just in that moment of smelling his/her scent you could breathe.

Beautiful, Em
