he breathed her name...

he breathed her name...
and he knew
she was the One...
he'd courted others before-
'said' their names-
he'd 'said' her name too, yet,
somehow, it was different...
this saying of her name-
as tho' it promised so much more...
and then one day, no warning happened upon him...
it was just a simple, quiet day...
he breathed her name...
and knew, as he felt her essence
course thru his veins...
she was the one.
she looked back at him-a smile upon her lips
and she knew also, an unspoken knowing...
he was hers
and on this warm spring day...
all was right with the world
because he
breathed
her
name.
