There is a big piece,
And a small one too…
So many broken shards
I piece them together one by one,
As if I were building a house of cards.
And the pieces they fit,
They form my heart…
But once it is together it breaks apart, because when I look into it I see you.
Then I’m back at the start…
A big piece,
And a small one to…
All because I wish to see you.

Loving someone can cause people to put themselves through so much pain to be with their loved one.

&quot;I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift, who will use it up and wring it out and drag it around like a favorite sweater.&quot; -SN
