Heart Strings Bound and Braided

Happiness felt years ago

Reminding me of joys once known

Every moment brings me home

-when you speak I come undone

When you laugh, my blood slows

Hum and my heart keeps its beat

Say "Goodnight" and I do

These are sincerest feelings

As best as I can describe them

- when I hear your laugh, I almost faint

speak and I come un-glued

as you breathe I sink into its melody

And when you say "Sweet dreams" I do

I think only of you as I stare at the moon

Beautiful that you see it too

How I hope to feel you here soon

-laugh and feathers tease my stomach

As you speak I melt into it

you breath, I grin so silly

That when you say "Take care" I do

At night staring at the vacuous ceiling

My mind filling in blanks as I talk to you

I don't know how I've been living till now

Without this joy you bring

You need to know you’re the reason my heart sings

If you never laughed, I think my heart would break

Keep silent, and it would be too much to take

If you died, I surely would too

Say "Goodbye" and I couldn't live without you
