Hearts
Hearts
They beat; they break
That heart break should not be created by those who claim to care
Claiming to care is like saying I love you to a child
Breaking a heart is like telling the same child you were joking
Hearts
They beat; they flutter
That flutter should be caused by giddy nerves and shy smiles
Not by fear and dread
Fearing the one you love is like driving quickly through brick walls and buildings
It doesn't hurt any less the more times you do it
Hearts
