Reminder

"I remember your hand

Covering mine

Holding mine.

As though you needed to remind me

That you were there,

Although my head was still resting on your chest.

Feeling the steady beat of your heart out of pace with my own.

Yours was so soft, so steady and warm.

Mine was out of control, wild and agonizingly loud.

As though it needed to remind you

That I was there too."
