My heart lives outside my body
I can feel its beat
in anothers chest
rising and falling
with every breath

My heart is where it belongs
where I belong
every beat
every day
brings me closer
to where I am supposed to be

One day I will come back to
the wholeness I only feel
in part now. 

Until then my heart will
continue to beat
in anothers chest
rising and falling
with every breath.

I think I know this feeling. What a powerful, yet comforting poem.

Sometimes I look at this poem and I am amazed by it. It wrote itself. The feelings spilled out across the page before I had a chance to keep them in check. It is beautiful and wonderful to behold. Such love is never extinguished. It only grows in intensity.
I'm happy it touched your heart. My greatest joy is in giving to others.
