My heart beats slightly off-kilter now. It doesn't run anymore,
It jogs.
It jumps, pauses, sprints and then walks.
Up and down my staircase ribs, it stumbles, it slips.
It skips, it rattles, it creaks.
Remember when it did that the first time?
You and I had stayed up all night, talking, discovering.
You made me feel like the moon would never give way to the sun.
I thought you were a prince in disguise, fairy tale perfect.
I didn't know that a loving heart could trip into breaking.
I never expected it to feel like falling in love when we were falling out.
But looking at you,
thinking the things I do,
my heart pauses it's marathon, memorizing your face.
Tomorrow I'll wake up somewhere else, will you even miss me?
