Guarding your heart...

Guarding your heart

seems so cliché.. 

seems out of touch.. 

who would do so? 

Maybe me… 

What makes a heart glee? 

Flowers, the sun, rain, all sorts of fun 

but you know what, it's that whisper, it's that embrace

that you too are loved..you too are cared.. you too matter 

Can sadness turn to happy? 

Just like gloomy to warm(y).. 

Isn’t it your heart? 

That makes world go round

After all, it is a vessel you carry 

It is the one that gets weary.. 

So I say, guard your heart as if it was your only armor 

Not to be bitter or to wrap in chains 

but to love in the way that liberates 

that makes you free 

to see even the day in night 

Love the ones that truly love you 

and be that heart that heals 

And heal.. because true love? 

Is the one you give to yourself 

and the one that you give without expecting anything in return

A quote from one of my favorite books: 

“Of course I’ll hurt you. Of course you’ll hurt me. Of course we will hurt each other. But this is the very condition of existence. To become spring, means accepting the risk of winter. To become presence, means accepting the risk of absence.”

― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince
