The Music

I can't hear the music, darling,
My heart is pounding too loudly.
With your arms around me,
Your sweet breath on my neck,
My head is spinning,
My world is reeling...
I can't hear the music, darling,
Can you?
My focus is on your eyes,
And the fuzzy, scruffy redness of your beard,
And my heart
Is not matching the rhythm
Of the music.
I cannot breathe, my love...
But I feel I shouldn't need to.
I'm safe in your arms,
Your strength courses through me.
I can't hear the music, darling...
And it doesn't matter to me.
The music is nothing
When compared to you.
You're the sweetest tune I hear,
The notes that take my breath away.
I don't care about the music, darling.
You're all that I hear,
All that I need,
All that I feel.
And in this sweet, anxious moment
When we're breathing way too hard
And you've zapped all the strength from me,
I don't want the music, dear.
I just want to hold on tightly...
For forever.
