My Heart Tells Me

The moon tells me 

Another day has passed

The calendar tells me 

Another week has passed

The bills in my mail tell me

Another month has passed

With new aches and pains 

My body tells me 

Another year had passed 

All the leading indicators 

Are trying to tell me

Slowly but surely 

Time is passing 

However 

When I look into your eyes 

My heart tells me differently 

When I touch your hands 

My heart disagrees 

When our lips press together 

My heart tells me

Everything remains

I think

I will listen

To the things

My heart tells me
