My Heart

Thoughts of you make my mind race
My pulse quickens, I can hear the sound
Of the pounding against my chest
You raise the mercury in my heart
Adrenaline rushes through my veins
The thrill of it all, The rise and the fall
Thoughts of you make my mind race
My heart is bleeding for you
It longs for you to be near to it again
For the distance between us to subside
Waiting for the moment, the time
When you're back at my side
Physically and emotionally there is a part
A space, I fear, that may grow wider
As you reach for independance
You shrink away from me
Doing this on your own is what you feel
Is neccessary, you don't want to feel weak
But it is not weakness to take my hand
And let me help you through it
No, not weakness, for it would strengthen us
Bring us together in a way like ne'er before
But you can't see past independance
And I feel you shrinking away
I may be wrong, you may return
But it feels so distant
And my heart bleeds for you
