In the quiet hours, when shadows fall,
My heartbeat whispers your name,
A rhythmic echo of a love so deep,
Those words alone cannot be explained.

Each beat, a gentle plea,
To bridge the distance between us,
Yearning for the warmth of your touch,
In a world where time suspends.

My foolish heart, a faithful drum,
Tenderly keeping pace with your soul,
Syncopating to the melody of our love,
A symphony only we can know.

Through nights of longing and days of yearning,
This heartbeat echoes like a secret vow,
Binding us together in an unseen thread,
That connects us, here and now.

Oh, the sweet pulse of my existence,
In every throb, I feel you near,
A constant reminder of our intertwined fate,
Where love conquers all fear.
