I Need You Like a Heartbeat

I need you like I need my own heart.
I love you without even knowing why or how or when
I love you straightforwardly without complexities or pride;
So I love you because I know no other way than this
I know of a world where "I" does not exist
But neither does "you"
A world where only "we" exist.
So close that your arm around my waist feels like a part of me
Where your eyes begin to close as I fall asleep
So in sync.
You are like stardust in the summer
Or a massive burst of colors
And I want to inhale every tiny particle
And choke on the splendor of just you
Even if my lungs suffocate from drowning in the flecks that make up all of you
Even if the church caught fire and burned to the ground,
I would still have faith..
In you.
In us.
Call me a safe bet, but I'm really not.
I am terrified of all the things I feel, but cannot see.
