The first day that I met you My heart was pounding in my chest But it could have been because I ran there, to the Starbucks On the Ave The one you used to work at But maybe it wasn't because I was In such a rush It could have been the coffee I've heard that can increase your Heart rate Or maybe both of these are wrong You see, I was born with a slight Arrhythmia Which messes with the way my heart beats But maybe it was my hearts way of saying This one is the one There's no way of knowing But ever since that day I've been smitten; Scheduling my whole day around Getting to see you And I even remember the first time I rode in your car Because You were worried about me But it became a regular thing You drove me home on the nights You worked a close And each and every time I fell more and more And you started to feel like home Because home is not a place But a feeling in the heart, And maybe it was my arrhythmia But I've felt it since the start And then you up and left You moved so far away But you needed to be with your family I just wish you could've stayed So I guess I had to visit Because I was craving you so much You see, you're like a drug to me, You're my ****** My crutch Because I wouldn't make it Through every day life Without your voice to hold onto And our conversations replaying Over and over In my painseeking mind Play it through Then rewind Again and again I reminisce you And every time we're together it's like The world stops And as we lay together You tell me "I can hear your heart beating are you okay?" And maybe you heard The arrhythmia Which is why you were concerned But my heart pounds in my chest Like the timpani in an orchestra And every third beat is half the length of the others, But that's just *the arrhythmia
