Our hearts beat together

But differently.

Can you feel my heartbeat?

A deep steady bass

Heavy, echoing like a cavern

But filled with strength

Feel the thump in your chest

Resounding deep

Does it move you?

I can feel your heartbeat

Beating like surf on the shore

Rising peaks and quiet valleys

Racing bright staccatos

Intense and stirring

Falling to a gentle patter

Like raindrops on the roof

Could two hearts beat as one?

In complementary rhythm

Two hearts together

Probably

If any two can, it would be ours
