The off beat of your heart against mine,
would be a rhythm if only I could save you,
The ripening sense of defeat in the air,
As I run my fingers through your hair,
And laugh like I've never laughed before,
I savor these moments, of pure happiness,
I know I wont feel them again until I'm with you,
I hold you as close as I can,
If I cant hear your heartbeat your too far away.
Lets take a walk, your hand in my hand,
I don't ever want to feel you let go,
don't let our hands drop, just close your eyes,
If we try to, maybe we can stop time,
There's a perfection in the way you speak to me,
You cant ever find the right words,
But they always sound perfect, coming from you,
Falling from your lips like venom,
You're the perfect poison, my perfect drug.
Lay with me in your bed, stay close,
I cant breathe when I cant feel you near,
When I can hear your voice, whisper in my ear.
When we talk I cant help but smile,
And even though I hate it, ill smile for you.
I want you to know how much you mean,
You're the only inspiration for these words,
And this is straight from the heart,
No one has ever made me feel this way.
If there was a more perfect day then being with you,
I haven't found it yet, I don't want to.
If there was a more perfect lie, than saying I don't need you,
I want to hear it, I really do.
Because you're the glue, and I'm the maker,
Piecing my broken heart back together,
Feel free to leave me empty handed,
Because if you go, your taking this with you,
I know its broken, but it has some use.
There's a repetition of your name in my head,
Ricocheting off my soul, with ease,
And striking my heart, with continual motion,
And there's not anyone who can stop this beat,
You hear the creaking in my chest?
that's my heart, waking from rest,
I've had no reason to use it, until I met you.
And now its time to love again,
You're my love, and my best friend.
