My Heart Skips A Beat

The old saying, “my heart skips a beat”

Held no meaning until now

I'm living proof it happens every day

When I get a message, KERPOW!

Heart starts pumping a mile a minute

Can't focus to press the right key

Eventually I'm able to find it though

And her loving words I see

Head starts spinning, fingers tremble

Reading the first loving line

Just as I imagined, her words excite me

Must respond to her love in kind

So I type, retype, and type again

I'm pretty damn happy at the end

But read it through a couple more times

More changes then I hit the 'send'

It's gone and I worry, did I use the right words

Does she understand what I'm saying

Then anxiously wait, it seems like forever

Till she returns the love I'm displaying

Starts all over, “my heart skips a beat”

Life had no meaning till now

I'm living proof, it happens every day

Never been so happily endowed!
