A Heartbeat Too Slow

I thought it was clear
between us
You would call

First
When all the fears
and doubts
hung around
swarming like wasps in the dark

We were a heartbeat apart
from the start

A duet of free belly laughs
unstoppable
through it all

How can this lifetime river's
steady flow
cease

One heartbeat
too slow

To dearest Jill, with all my love forever
