Heartstrings

Every time I take a breath,
and my heart beats inside my chest.
It so much wants to run to you
And suddenly, I need that too.

Each obstacle seems oh so small
In the great scheme of things, the worth of it all
And suddenly it all makes sense,
As your lips demolish each pretense.

You tug each string with every word.
Beautiful things among things unheard
To see your face, to hear you laugh
To love your present, future, past.

I'd give my worth, I'd give my all.
To know you'd catch me when I fall.
But until then, I'll sit and wait.
Catch a star, and trust in fate.
