One Flesh

If you stop and listen
the thudding of my heart
can be heard.
You have awoken a newness is my soul.
opened up my eyes, to an unknown world.
Allow, me to become so close to you that I can not
even begin, to wonder where you start and I begin.
You have connected me, completed me, allowed me to live.
Listen, in the silence a love that is so pure it can be heard.
Two hearts that have found one another.
 A love that is so honest and pure. 
Unchanged my time, or circumstance.
It has been created, set aside. 
The sweetness, of two hearts colliding to make one beating heart. 
One flesh.
