Heart Strings

You and I made a pact, that as you came to life within me, we would find a perfect harmony. Our heart rhythms began beating together and everything I felt, you felt too. We rewrote the stars with every pulse, entangling our hopes and dreams together and rewriting our stories with each other’s presence. So, when the world shatters around you, I feel it too. My heart is a mirror to yours and I can feel my heart strings tugging on your heart, aching for you to be okay. As the days roll over, I learn to take a step back, to let you make your own mistakes, to let the world teach you some lessons and give you space to become you. Yet I cannot help but notice that the ache never fades. Instead, it lingers on and sometimes becomes unbearable as I struggle to find the higher purpose to your pain. Then the truth about loving a soul so completely and so eternally becomes clear. That undeniably the hardest part about tying our heart strings together, is that when your heart breaks, mine stands no chance and follows in tune.
