If you could hear my heartbeat every time someone said your name

You can imagine how strong the drummer in a live gig plays

Though they're not just heartbeats because each one of them says a word

Which rattles about the pleasure and torment all through.


My heartbeat whispers that sometimes I can't even hear it

But if you're close to my heart it's easy to feel it

So when somebody asks me about you casually

A series of strong heartbeats asks if someone also asks you about me.


Then those heartbeats instantly think how you're doing

Which my head doesn't know but can't stop thinking about

It wonders if my name makes you feel something

If it does, is it security or just doubt?


My heartbeats shout your name

In so many yet different ways

Sometimes it shouts with pain

But I can't deny the contentment 

That you didn't decide but I did

To wait for you and stay

Even if during this hour your heart grows rigid

I will continue to love you today.
