i don't know how to reckon the condition of feeling like i could never get enough of you against the position of feeling like i could never get enough of you. there is looking at someone                    loving them. there is this.                     the way a flame can choke while knowing nothing of breathing.

'the way a flame can choke while knowing nothing of breathing' this is a masterful stream of wordsmithery! it allows us to believe exactly how you are feeling as the one you love takes your breath away, without us ever needing to really understand the nuts and bolts. I love it !

the way (that) a flame can choke whil(st) knowing nothing of breathing. that is quite my kind of line: one that i have an opinion on. 'the way that a flame can choke, whilst knowing nothing of breathing' that's a poem in its own right, you big girl... take sunday off.

I love that full stop on the first and second line - i don't know how to reckon(pause) the condition of feeling like i could(pause) Like these lines are completely at ends with each other linguistically and work so well together in thought. You could have used reconcile instead of reckon but you didn't because the way these sentences stop you dead in your tracks works better for the point of the piece. There is looking at someone (there is unconditionally) loving them. Honestly, lovely
