Sometimes
When I lie awake
I wonder
If my heart ever stopped beating
If I was no longer
A phone call
A text message
Away
What would your heart do?
Would it call for me
In the night
As I do for you
Would it silently break
Each time you think of me
When you ride in the car
As mine does for you
Would you long to feel
My arms around your neck
As I long to feel yours
Around my waist
Would you replay the sound
Of my voice
The rhythm of my words
As I have replayed yours
In my mind
A thousand times
Would every laugh
Remind you of mine
As mine
Reminds me of yours
Or would you sit silently
The memories soft and warm
Calling the depths of your heart
Home
As mine do
I like to think you would
But I push these thoughts
To the deepest, darkest
Crevices of my mind
Because following them
Are thoughts of another girl
Falling asleep
In your arms
In the place where I belong
Her fingers intertwined
In the space created for mine
Her head
Resting on your chest
Listening for your heartbeat
My favorite song
Her laughter filling your ears
And her love
Filling your heart
But dear,
No ones heart
Will beat like mine
When you rest a gentle hand
On her hip
In the morning
But it kills me to think
Someone's might
So those thoughts are stored
To haunt me
When I lie awake
At night
