Heartbeats

The thudding from his heart
you can hear it loud and clear
beating in perfect sync
with your almost dying heart

head against his rising chest
his heart is beating steady
for only you this percussion sounds
and for this you love

a soft tender kiss
exchanged from her to you
the heartbeats are pounding faster
the butterflies flitting around inside

2 hearts beating
synchronized so perfectly
isn't it a shame though
heartbeats never last forever.
