The Debt

My heart beats in your chest
Just as yours beats in mine
Every heaving breath we take
Synchronized

Those eyes which look through me
See good, bad, and ugly
But your honest gaze never falters
All's steady

Arms to hold, love to warm
This soul long unperturbed
Now stirs deep within me
Flowing like wind

In the desert I walk
You are the oasis
You are my Northern Star
Guardian

My other half, ever sought
That I may know the answer
What all humans will one day crave
Intimacy

Not much can I offer
Only a small token
But still, my affections are yours
It will never be enough

A debt I cannot repay
