My Heart Sprungs Legs

Every time I see you, my heart takes flight,

It sprungs legs and races behind you, my plight..

It chases after yours with restless zeal,

A true longing which is raw and real.

Your presence makes my pulse to dance,

A runaway beat and a wild romance.

With every step you take, it’s like a call,

My heart's pursuit burns to sprawl.

Yet though it chases, always on the run,

It never quite reaches the destiny to win.

In your presence, it finds a short trace,

But never the comfort of your embrace.

So it runs and leaps, and hopes to find,

A way to leash and to intertwine.

Yet every time you’re near, it feels so true,

That my heart sprungs legs and ran to you.
