It ran
Quickly
But not enough.
You see,
You were faster
And you stole it
Away from me.
You took it in
And nourished it
With sweetness
And love.
You protected it.
You're its gift
From God above.
You loved it.
And eventually,
It adored you, too.
By time, it started
Beating,
But only for you.
You kept it,
And promised,
And ever since then,
My heart was
Never
Broken again.
