Heartbeats

The love of my life.

Heartbeats

first, paced quickly with the rush of unfamiliar hands

running over my body, reaching into my soul

immediately

Heartbeats

slowly trying to match yours, so calm and collected

with profound calculation only achievable by a man of soundness

a man of instinct

Heartbeats

sounding loudly for one another through too much space

your chest pressed against my chest is not close enough to feel

devoted passion
