The Heart Beat

My heart started beating
In time with yours,         
Every time your heart skipped a beat,
So did mine.
Once,
I couldn't feel
The beat of your heart,
Then my heart skipped a beat    
And I started to cry.
After what felt like an eternity
I felt the familiar beat;
So close,
Yet, not so close.

Since then;
Your heart started to beat
In time with mine,
If my heart skipped a beat
So did yours,
Every single time.

The time has passed
And we have grown apart
My heart now beats,
A different beat from yours.
But the familiar beat
I much recall.
For, so long
Our hearts
Were beating as one.

P.S.
Love you Amma.
