MY HEART BEATS FOR YOU

My heart beats for you
   when you're not looking.
My heart beats for you
   when you're in the other room.
My heart beats for you
   when you think I'm sleeping.

My heart...
does not need a kiss,
or the press of your body,
to beat for you.

I was half asleep and heard a small noise.
I felt happy when I realized the noise was from her doing something, and that it meant she was nearby, on the other side of the house. The last stanza originally started with "It does not..." and no line-break, rather than "My heart...", but I changed it for clarity to the reader.
