I haven't felt my heart beat in a very long time
So long that cobwebs filled the space
A stillness stirred inside my ribcage
Until one night where your eyes met mine, again
And the world became full of color
My cheeks were flushed and a warmth radiated out of my fingertips
A low pitter-patter made its way to my eardrums
My heart was beating;
Butterfly wings kissed the inside of my stomach
And I was sure that I felt alive again,
I haven't felt this way in a very long time

I haven't felt my heart beat in a very long time
So long that cobwebs filled the space
A stillness stirred inside my ribcage
Until one night where your eyes met mine, again
And the world became full of color
My cheeks were flushed and a warmth radiated out of my fingertips
A low pitter-patter made its way to my eardrums
My heart was beating;
Butterfly wings kissed the inside of my stomach
And I was sure that I felt alive again,
I haven't felt this way in a very long time
