between two

i read their story and it was beautiful
but i couldn't understand it --
but maybe out of context it barely meant a thing
but within context -- it was simply profound.
she knew his heartbeat so well
synchronized with hers
but to everyone else
it was just the sound of a bump they hit in the road
an interruption
a dream to wake up from
a bubble bound to burst
and maybe apart from the beat of their own hearts
it made no sense at all
but when it was heard by the two
stuck between two chests in attempts to combine
beating faster and faster in closer proximity
it was their moment to claim as their own
the pulse to jumpstart their awakening
and maybe no one else was supposed to understand
because it was only within context of the two.
