Heartbeat

02^nd Mar, 2015

Here it is, her heart again.
Beat by beat
Mimicking the flutter of a hummingbird
While I’m not near it.

I adore the way it calms down
To an even and slow pace
When I’m pressed
Tightly against her breast.

Whether I'm just a few steps or an ocean away,
It starts throwing its tantrum,
It wants me to stay.
I’m not laughing, because for me it’s the same,
And I must admit, I love playing this game.
