Hey you!!!!
Yes you..
Most feelings don't begin in the mind.
They steam gently and with force, right from the heart.
Raw. Relentless. Reckless.
Because the heart never waits for logic.
It moves first, aches first, loves first.
It plunges into chaos, calls it home, and asks no questions.
The mind, ever the observer,
Watches from a safer distance.
It demands answers.
It asks for sense.
It begs the heart to slow down,
To not fall so fast,
To not break again like last time.
But the heart is louder.
It doesn't obey.
It leaps before the mind even blinks.
And when it does,
The mind is dragged along.
Kicking and Screaming Rationalizations
We like to say we chose wrong.
But was it really a choice,
Or just a feeling too loud to ignore?
Because when the heart speaks in the language of longing,
The mind becomes clumsy with restraint.
It gives in to those 2 a.m. calls,
Those unread messages,
Those memories dressed as hope.
And in the end,
Our most impulsive decisions come not from the mind's approval,
But from the heart's refusal to wait.
