I can hear your heart

I drove through the forest, thinking of you -

There were dark trees -

It was New Year's Eve -

I remembered you snatching my diary, tearing it away from my grasp -

What's in here you asked, laughing, clasping my wrists together - 

What have you written ? 

Later, in the boat park, you held me in your arms -

I was breathless, barely able to speak -

My lips were bruised from kissing -

Sometimes we would drive at night - 

You would stop the car and hold my hand -

You would say I can hear your heart -
