If she was able to look
Inside my heart
On nights we spend apart
She would no longer wonder
With whom my loyalty lies
It would be clear as day
Exactly how much of me
She actually consumes
My heartbeat would mimic
The rhythm of her favorite song
Her laughter will echo
Throughout my eardrums
My tongue will remember
The taste of the perfume
She sprayed on her neck
The last time we made love
She would be able to trace
Her fingerprints
Up and down my spine
And feel the warmth that remains
At the spot her hands last rest
My body would not be soiled
By another woman’s touch
My mind will not be clouded
With uncertainties of our future
My consciousness will remind her
Every minute, I love her
And whisper all the words
I wish I would have said
My memories will guide her
To the exact space in time
I decided to gift her, my heart
She could fast forward
To see, she still holds the key
To the door that guards
Our future and the man
I have yet to become
She will be able to feel
The scars on my feet
That formed after many years
Of running away from love
Then see how well they healed
The moment I realized
My heart raced the fastest
On nights I found myself
Laying next to her
