The rapid “tick tock tick tock” of the clock Slowed down when you entered the room It eased into hypnotic rhythms And matched my shallow breathes Which slowed down, even though my heart beat sped up I could sense our souls overlapping As they always do when we are near An instant familiarity Kindred spirits Two hearts that yearn for adventure Dream of tomorrow Dance in optimistic visions of the future As the world burns We have hope And I think that is why I’ve fallen in love with you We march to the beat of the same drum
