When I look you in the eyes I am suddenly all too aware of my heartbeat. The steady, rhythmic beating of my pulse seems to beat stronger whenever I catch your glance. In that moment when I feel my heart thump heavily, it reminds me that I am human. And for a moment, I am scared.
Then I wonder if you feel the same as I do. If your heart beats the same as mine whenever we look to each other. If you feel just as scared, just as human as I do.
