My heart stopped a beat
A deep breath to bring me back
You right in front of me within a few feet
No warning, not a clue …. The feeling of a heart attack
Thoughts, memories rushing like a raging river
Fighting with my mind to acknowledge you
Pausing, contemplating on the line I would deliver
I bid all common sense adieu
Deep breath…. Working hard are you?
Stunned, shocked …. Good grief was all you good speak
Your heart began to race, your very breath taken as you turned blue
And then it all started over…. With one small kiss upon my cheek
