he said he knows the sound
of my heartbeat
like he knows his name
why, if it catches his attention,
doesn't his beat the same?
and why,
when i look into his eyes
don't i see
what i feel
is so clear in mine?
his footsteps,
while gentle,
are never in sync with mine?
and why,
when we are so young,
does it so vividly feel
like we are out of time?
