The clock ticked tocked,

In him her heart was locked,

But, she wasn't prepared,

To break the bond for love.

She kept thinking about him,

After everything that had happened,

Especially after the trip,

She decided to take the risk.

Though she feared,

Her gut did insist,

He too had strings attached,

With her heartstrings.

That silent night, alone in her room,

She dialed his number,

Heart racing fast and,

Breaths rapid and high.
