Apart and United

Stuck between heartbeats
Caught in a passionate inhale
A gasp for life, for love
Locked in a crack in time

Passing so intensely fast
While seeming to stand still
Lips locked, nothing moves
Blood, frozen in our veins

Time apart like minute rotations
A day passes in a blink
Until we can lock eyes again
Once more we live in isolation

A rhythm of race and pause
Between living and waiting
The pulse of life and time
Dancing forever, until together.
