My Heartbeat Will Find Me

I know it's hard for you to find me
So just stop and listen for my heartbeat
Keep your ears open so you can listen closely
And never fall asleep, for you might not see me

My heart is crying out for your tender love and care
And to miss out on your love, I must not bare
I seem to be lost on meeting you halfway
But we yearn for each other and shall not go without another day

We race against time
So we rush to find each other
True love is hard to find
And I don't want to spend time trying to find another

I feel so confused 
Because I don't hear your heartbeat but I have the scent of you
I look to my left and look to my right
I see other men, but no part of you in sight

I feel as if I have no more time
Because I've traveled this long journey and still have you to find
I was no longer happy
Instead, upset and angry

Tears began to roll from my eyes
Because I can't go on and have to stop
There on my back I lie
Feeling like a failure cause I didn't come out on top

My heart is pumping out blood that's falling like teardrops
And if you can't find me in time, then my heart is going to pop
I need you to listen for my heartbeat
And I need you to find me quickly

I hear a knock on my door
But because of me failing, I can't move anymore
I hear footsteps coming up the stairs
I gave a thought of who it could be, but I really don't care

I hear the voice of a man call my name
Then, in the room he came
He saw me lying on the bed and rushed to my side
He kneeled down and my eyes opened wide

He looked straight into my eyes and said to me
"Rise my love for you no longer have a love journey"
I thank God for letting this man listen and follow my heartbeat
And most of all, for finding me
