Heartbeats

Heartbeats


I’m lying
On the couch
So are you

But we’re lying
Together
Watching television
Sports Center
The highlight
Reels
Of the games
I missed
The Red Soxs won
Yankees lost
I’m happy
And you kiss me
On my
Cheek

You’re lying
Close to me
I’m close enough
To hear you

I like the way
Your heart beats
I love the sound
It makes

Its love to
Say I love you
Especially like this

I can feel you
Ever so softly
Breathing on me
It’s soothing
And comforting
To know
You’re asleep
Safe in my arms
