The heart that beats

I have not smiled since my heart broke, the heart that beats for the parents that birthed us. I heard in your silence bells tolling and in my grief for what I thought I lost of you, I wept. 

Then, I heard your voice again. I felt my heart beat, the heart that beats for the one you live for. I tried to hide my broken heart but in my gladness at your presence, my most poignant sadness resurfaced again as if it had hidden itself until you arrived. We talked of nothing- you into the void, and me quietly baring my heart to you in little pieces. I missed you.

Slowly, I found myself smiling again. The heart that beats for you, beats again.
