My Heart Matters

I treasure the joyous moment

When you walked into my room 

With a cheery face 

And a pleasant smile 

That took me to the moon. 

Your magnetic charm and persona 

Had me smiling from ear to ear 

Your words 

Of praise and benevolence 

Made the day all the more dear

I don't know 

If I think it wrong 

Or imagine 

More than there could be 

But all I know

There is a bond

Subtle and attachment free.

Your discreet ways

That say so much 

I hold them oh so dear 

My fleeting heart

Just leaps and pounds

Whenever you are near. 

You don't say anything 

But you say it all 

I can hear your silence speak

Rolling over these waves we go 

But our oceans

They run deep. 

This moment and this feeling 

Belongs just to me 

Embedded someplace in my heart 

That you will never see.
