Heartbeat

Did you hear it?

That momentary pause in time
  somewhere 
   between the seconds ticking away
a sound
  lost in the hollowed echoes 
   of the heart beat;
suddenly stilled, 
  hesitating 
   for just that brief minute
then beating 
  loud and fast, 
   quickening both pulse and breath.

There it was.

You heard it too?
Didn't you?

It was the moment 
  that we met, 
 the very second
  we fell in love
 forever.
