Minute by Minute

As each minute passes my heart beat is lessening.  My pulse is slowing and my blood pressure dropping.  It has only been a short while since we parted.  In my mind a minute is like an eternity.  Minute by minute, minute to minute my recollection of the time we spent together is escaping me. The sweet smell of your secret scent, the moist memory of your kisses are like oxygen sustaining my life force.
