When we’re together my balloon is full of air, bursting at the seams

When im alone the knot of my balloon comes undone, it begins to shrink. I retie the knot over and over, but air always sneaks out

Some days, i can tie the knot tight enough that only a bit of air slips out, keeping my balloon light and full

Most days, i tie the knot too loose and the air rushes out, leaving my balloon deflated and empty

Your voice sends a breath of air directly into my balloon, into my heart

Your face, your smile, your body, your laugh, you fill me up completely
