Heartbeats

She warned me
I should have listened
but the sun glistened bright
upon your bruised skin
revealing to me more within
and I couldn't just leave you there
stuck in complete despair
I knew I could repair
the damage again
...
Your nervous smile that night
proved that I was right
in trusting you
and holding you
well into the night
Nothing was an act
unscripted passion that
surpassed what I believed
could ever be
And all this trusting
even as I'm writing
was you would always stay
and never leave
...
But somehow
you've forgotten this
calendars and promises
You've recreated you
and left me an eclipsed view
of the way real love
can always be unchristened
...
Patience is no longer my strength
but something allows me to think
It's worth the pain
to wait to hear your voice
The worst part still stands
with one touch of your hand
I know that I made the right choice
