When My Heart Races

Original Photograph of the author.

When my heart races

I can barely breathe

I watch you

Walk towards me

I can’t believe

That this man belongs to me

For infinity.

When my heart races

Caught in the future

Overthinking

Craving all the endless possibility.

Quickly reminded that it is great to dream

But there may be no future for me.

When my heart races

I breathe

Finding a safe home

In the now

That calls to me.

XO,

Laveet
