It has always scared me
How rapidly my heart
Starts and stops.
I feared that loving you
Was just a one night thing
Caused by lack of sleep
And overwhelming loneliness.
Darling, you have tamed
My uncontrollable heart.
The one that yearned for everything
And nothing
All at once,
Now only yearns for you.
You have awakened my ears
To a whole new sound,
Other than the lonely silence.
You have done something
No one else has,
You have made me happy.
