The sound of your heartbeat

Keeps me sane

It keeps me alive

And takes away my pain.

The sound of your heartbeat

Is music to my ears

It's a pulse pounding beat

That withdraws my fears.

I feel as your heartbeat

Increases its pace

When I press my palms against your chest

And move my lips closer to your face.

The rhythm of your heartbeat

Matches mine

As we melt into each other

And our bodies intertwine.

The sound of your heartbeat

Lulls me to sleep

As I lay my head down on your chest

And I know that you are mine,

Forever to keep.
