My mind and heart are once again in battle.

My mind struggles with the possibility
that the words you had "said"
might not have any true meaning behind them;
only "spoken to keep hurt from washing over me.

My heart battles on the side of truthfulness.
Knowing in my heart that you would never do
anything to hurt me nor ever "speak" deceitful words.

I follow my heart for it has been
the one entity that has been true to me,
it allows feelings to wash over me,
good or bad,
which has led to healing.

I feel a connection between our hearts and souls.
Our hearts "speak"
not with words
but with understanding.

We understand the intensity of
pain, happiness, and sorrow
that the others' heart has felt
through several different situations
life has thrown at us.

With this understanding
only good things will come our way.
