You're every other beat of my heart
An integral part of my pulse,
Regular and reliable
Pumping life and love and peace through each day
Even far, distant, this cadence brings you into my mind.
When I breath, I inhale and know
That somewhere, you breath also
As I exhale your name flutters, a whisper,
Across my lips.
I do not long for you as lover longs for lover
I long for you as the river longs for the sea
A tree, in full bloom, longing for the gentle breeze of spring
Your words, soft touch, warmth
Resonate, vibrate, reassure, sustain me
As you are every other beat of my heart.
