Follows me from room to room.
Cute tilted head stares.

They Move in Sync to the Thumping of Our Hearts.
We crawl to the edge and peek over.
The dark blue waves far below us,
crashing against the rocky walls of our cliff.
They move in sync to the thumping of our hearts.
This is how I felt when I first met you.
