I
shook when you spoke to me.
I would hold back a stutter
when I would respond.
I could feel my heartbeat in my fingers
when I held them still.
I
can still remember
feeling my heartbeat in my fingers
as I felt your face.
I can still remember
as I felt your chest,
feeling your pulse
synch up with mine.
There was something special about that moment,
but I can’t remember anymore.
