Heartbeat

I was lying in bed
On my side
With one arm under my head

I was frozen,
Staring into the world

Scared

Scared of what I have to face
And scared of that unknown

My ears were focused on the beat of my heart
Pacing in panic, fear and loneliness

But -
Then I thought of You
And I felt my heart skip a beat

I felt present and more alive
I felt at peace and centred
Just because I thought of You
