With my head against your chest

I never knew how much would your heart beat say

Its beats have no end as my thoughts get messier

Time has stopped since I synched into your beats

Silence took over the moment without begging calmness to prevail

While the pages are turning to escape the present,

And forget the vows of our silent love for tomorrow

By closing my eyes, I was engulfed by the songs of your heart beats and their fear of the perfect imperfection

While your warm tear falls over my forehead

I drown in the tale of your beats

I was speechless
