In a Heartbeat

In a heartbeat,

My eyes had spoken more than I had said

For she now blushed and looked upon my hand

Whose own she dared to grasp in mine unsaid.

In a heartbeat,

The world became perfect in love’s demand;

The glowing face that shares my searching stare

Responded thusly: a quiet command.

In a heartbeat,

The silent moments like our dreams so fair

Will vanish when the mind from sleep wakes up,

But now, I ask of you to tarry there—

In a heartbeat.
