Today,
My entire heart is finally opened.
Today,
I cannot contain its light and love anymore.
I had to let it go,
And as I did,
It opened.
Am I afraid?
So afraid.
Afraid of what?
Of being hurt again.
Today,
My heart woke up after being asleep for so long.
I was so careful to not wake it up,
And now it is awake.
I can feel it.
What have I done?
Today,
My heart is alive,
So alive that I can hardly breathe.
I thought it was dead,
But all along,
It was there with me.
Today,
My heart is back,
And it is whole,
And it is beautiful.
All this time,
My heart was frozen and cold.
All this time,
I thought I couldn't save it,
Despite all the warm blankets that I put around it,
And all the warm words that I have whispered at it.
But today,
My heart is finally opened.
What happened when it opened?
I cried.
I couldn't avoid those tears,
As my chest was in pain.
What kind of pain?
An inevitable one,
That felt so chaotic,
And at the same time,
So peaceful.
The pain of smiling,
Of laughing.
The pain of feeling happy.
The pain of being caught by love after hiding for so long.
The pain that I thought it would never come.
But today,
My heart is finally opened.
Today,
I am in love again.
My heart is here to shine,
To be,
And nothing can ever extinguish its light,
Because today,
My heart is free.
Thank you for watching!
