The Heart
The lonely heart is somewhat naive
But because I love you, it grows like the dawn
Warm, subtle, and so radiant it's entrancing
Because I love you, it means unrestrained mirth
Crooked smiles and dirty dishes left in the sink to be washed later
It means 'it's going to be okay'
And 'we're in this together'
While we hold hands like we're children again
Because I love you, it means seeing you in your yellow jacket
And never seeing the color yellow the same way again
It means looking at you with stars in my eyes
And my heart in my mouth
Even when you look back at me with tears staining your cheeks
