"It's not that I am an inherently sad person, I just catch heartache as if it were flu."
The sound of a heart breaking is not what you would expect.
It's long pauses and downcast eyes.
It's sighed breathing and sleepless nights.
It's lonely tears that never find the ground,
but instead are wiped away before they can make a sound.
It's "I'm okay." and "I'm not down!"
It's "You go ahead!" and "I'll see you around."
Hearts don't shatter like lighting meeting ground.
Hearts don't tear apart in a thunderous sound.
Hearts are fragile and soft like you,
Hearts like mine catch heartache like you catch the flu.
