My heart is beating quickly
I know not for who
Could be for him
Or her
Or even you

My heart beats faster
As they get closer
And I get closer
To them
But it is all too soon over

My heart is beating slowly now
And I know exactly why
I let the one slip
Though my fingers
And now must cry

My heart beats slower and slower
As they get further and further away
I smile and laugh
For their sake
And stop to weep at the end of the day
