I like your heartbeat
I like to press my fingers to it when we kiss
Feel it pulse in your wrist
Jumping higher, it makes me smile
It makes me feel alive
I like your heartbeat
I like to press my mouth to it
Against your neck, leaving pretty purple bruises in my wake
You say it makes you feel wanted
I don't just do it for your sake
I like your heartbeat
I can feel it when I hold your hand
I like to count the beats
1 2 3 4 5
They keep me grounded
Otherwise you'd make me float away
I like your heartbeat
When I have my head against your chest
My ear lain against it
Thump. Thump. Thump.
It lulls me into sleep
Calming my own pounding pulse
I love your heartbeat.
