Heartbeats
Walking aimlessly, leaving my footprints
Reminding me how many seconds spent
Away from you.
Following a breeze
That may lead me to where you are
Caressed by moonlight
Still feeling cold
As I am still away from you.
Looking at that lonely reflection on the water
Made me pity its owner.
Closing my eyes didn't make me any good,
As I saw your breathtaking smile clearer
With no distracting surroundings.
I moved along
Trying to inhale all the air I can
Hoping I’d inhale your dazzling smell.
I put my trembling hand on my heart
Trying in vain to silence its desperate calls.
Then all of a sudden
That breeze I followed drew back
Pushing my long hair way beyond my head
And carrying a familiar, cozy smell
Could it be……?!
My footsteps widened
To match my ascending heart beats.
Then it was you.
I felt your presence inside
These melting walls of my body
Before even seeing your amiable figure.
Drawing closer aroused these butterflies in my stomach
And this fire in my cheeks
Fearing I’d burn you I stopped one step away from you
But you just reached out your hands
Erasing that step that separated us.
Feeling home in your arms
Made me rest my tired head on your welcoming shoulder
To my surprise, I could feel my heartbeats no more
I could only feel these assuring heartbeats of yours
Inside me.
What a feeling?!!!!
That tiring journey without you
Made me fall asleep in your warm arms
Hoping I would never wake up!!!
