So Lets Say You Wake Up

So lets say you wake up.

So lets say you wake up and you realize you don't have a heart, someone seems to have stolen it.

What would you do?

Would you race up from the field, letting the tall grasses graze your open palms?

Would you scramble through town, asking anyone and everyone you saw, but only recieving disaproving glances?

Nobody talks to a man with no heart.

Besides, there's nobody around town today, they're all at church right now.

So lets start over.

Lets say it's 9:37 am and you wake up on a hill overlooking the field, under a big old oak tree. You forget exactly how you got there, and you seem unable to focus. You look down and quickly realize, through your amazing deductive skills, that you are lacking a heart.

Let's assume you run into town shall we?

Why are you so unable to focus? There is no pain, but there is a strange, almost magnetic pull.

Nobody is around and you search the town for nothing, moreso just walking to clear your thoughts. Empty and yearning. Hollow and hopeful. What is this?

The bells ring and the church doors burst open and you see a throng of suits and dresses, black and white like the movies. Only one is in color. Only she is visibile.

A ghost whispers.

"If you knew I was dying, would it change you?"

You remember.

Nobody stole your heart.

You gave it to someone.

Magnetism is gravity and you fall to her earth, embraced and endless.

A kiss and you remember, a touch, a smile, an eternity.




Let's say it lasts.

What would you do?
