What do you say?

What do you say?

A Poem by Leandro Mendez

If the heart is
a muscle,
then what's this feeling
'tween my lungs?

I can't grasp
its meaning with words.
Especially,
when you're close.

Your playful smile
makes me drift
to another realm,
only yours and mine.

Sometimes, I hate
that I can only see you
at night,
I apologize.

Time went by
and I did not
realize that this
was happening to us.

We were locking
our memories,
together,
under the moonlight.

I surrendered to
your light,
surrender to mine?

My guard is always down
with you around.
You can tell by
my silly acts.

Dare you
to put your ear
on my chest,
do you hear my heart
beating hard?
Its rhythm is spelling
your name,
I know you heard it.
You looked away
(smiling).

Help me with the title? Please? The first title is 'What do you say?", or should I stick with this one? "Feel free to tell me anything"? Reviews would be very appreciated. Regardless, thank you for reading!!

After reading a few pieces of yours I think woman are coy with you. Often looking away either smiling or blushing. The last stanza of this pieces was terrific.

Of course for me you'd now I heard because I'd whisper your name in return. Definitely not look away. Too good.
