Drums

I felt you long before she cared.
She leant closer.
Closer still.
I heard your heart beat.
Drums.
I never knew.
That she could make me feel envy.
I felt the warmth of your skin.
Long before she cared.
Drums.
A smooth rhythm.
You didn't know I could hear.
Skin soft on the palm of your hand.
She cares for you.
Drums.
I hear the beating in my head.
Faster and faster it goes.
She doesn't deserve you.
She can't dance your dance.
Drums.
The chime of your soul.
Is a step count, she misses.
Holding your hand but falling.
I'm falling.
Drums.
My heart is faster.
I'm not running far.
I'm running faster and harder.
Only to your smooth laugh.
Drums.
The backbone of your voice.
I missed my chance to dance.
Alone I stand watching.
Head falling in time to the,
Drums.
I hit hard.
When I fell for you.
My mistake to think
I could Care more than she.
