Heart Skipped a Beat

.....

Heart skipped a beat.

When I saw you standing

On my kitchen floor.

Heart skipped a beat.

I caught it only after you

Were out the door.

Where do you wanna meet?

Anywhere under this,

Sky on this starless night.

I'll do everything but cheat,

Weave every joy I know

Into your morning light.

You sat on my balcony,

Like a piece of the moon,

Sculpted into a forbidden dream.

You're enough for me,

To take ever moral I clutch,

Apart at the seams.

You need to come tell me,

When I can make it,
All the way to you.

You need to come tell me,

You're the proof,

To my every truth.

Heart skipped a beat.

And I know you'll always,

Be just slightly out of reach.

There will never be a kiss,

Where the ocean and our feet,

Dance on a forgotten beach.

Looking at you there,

Sitting in my favorite,

Wicker cane chair.

Watching the cup in your hands,

The wind play the violin,

With your tightly strung hair.

Heart skipped a beat.

And you sipped your tea.

Oh my oh my oh my.

My life is not ready.

I need some time,

To make empty my sky.

Nothing left to want.

Nothing less will do.

Nothing I can ever have.

Nothing else but you.

Heart skipped a beat.
