My heart swoons

Every time your name is said

It whispers every breathe

Every ounce of life into me

And every thought into my head

Your words touch me

In ways you never will

In stride you go through motions

In thoughts and in your walk

My only ecstatic thrill

In you, my only hope,

Has lied my every thought

As all my dreams die out

As told in time they should

You remain my only want

And my heart seems to stop

Far worse than any swoon

Stops mid beat and mid flow

Stops everything I know

Every time you leave the room
