Arms outstretched
Towards what seemed like
A wall
A barrier of sorts

I leaned in close
Face buried in your shirt
Taking in your scent
While you stayed silent

I put my arms around your waist
But you say nothing
We were that near
But I found it a little hard to breathe

I leaned in close
My ear to your back
Arms still around you
No words under your breath

*Yet...
I hear your heartbeat...
...Racing fast
