Sometimes I miss you so much I think my heart might explode.

In fact, sometimes I picture just that action.

A dub but no preceding lub

My ventricles

They swell with blood

And I know my valves fail on me because

Sometimes I miss you so much my heart

Explodes.

But I’ll always come to my senses

Really, it’s not that big of a deal

Irrational

I try not to be so I realize:

My heart will keep beating

Just like it has for the past two decades

My heart will keep beating without fail

All day every day. You can’t

Make me explode.

I realize:

You can’t make

Me.

I wrapped my hand around the side of her neck. My icy fingers were comforted by the heat she emitted. That would be the last form of comfort I’d ever receive from her. My lips brushed against the edges of her ear the exact manner she had taught me months earlier. “I love you and if you want me to stop, then I will.” Not that she was going to, but she had no time to respond. The orchestra violently started to play. She bought me dinner and brought me home. It was the cleanest break that could possibly come from a situation so messy. She wanted me to stop- so I did. I believe it to be the best thing I’ve ever done for either of us.

The (simple and incredibly satisfying) End.
