From within, I remember listening to your heartbeat,

one beat, two beats, three beats four,

the harmony of love, which I wanted nothing more.

Time passed by and I soon ran out of space,

forced into a world,

where I would soon see your face.

Separated for the first time,

only seconds apart from you, I was so afraid,

not realizing it was my new life to be made.

Eyes closed, body shivering from head to feet,

overcome by fear of not hearing your heartbeat,

I had only one desire,

it was you I wanted to meet.

My fear grew and it grew,

in this world frightening and new,

feeling the touch of a stranger’s hand

speaking words I didn’t understand.

I was not ready, not then not now,

I wanted to find you,

but I didn’t know how.

I wanted to go back,

Yet somehow I knew, it something I just couldn’t do.

So with my first breath in a world apart from you,

I did what all babies do.

I cried and I cried,

Hoping you would find me,

and I would find you.

Suddenly, they laid me in your arms,

as you griped me tight,

with all your love, and all your might.

Then from within,

Embodied without sin,

I heard a familiar sound,

It was the sound of your heartbeat,

one beat, two beats, three beat four,

the sound I grew so fond of,

which I knew was your love.

There within your grasp,

I felt your soul and more,

Under your love,

That I was born to adore.
