If I'm hopeful..

If my heart could run away, it would be the first place winner in the marathon. There is no cure or remedy..only time which ticks slower and slower with each passing second.If love were tangible I'd take hold of it and super glue it to my heart, while making sure every square inch is stapled down. I thought I had it fastened securely in place, but then someone came and peeled it off, scraped the residue, and burned it in a fire, to merely watch it rise up in smoke. Love is indestructible, but at times hard to find when it is in small particles, as it is now. For a moment I thought it had been destroyed, and lost, but then I remembered I have only misplaced it. This game of hide and seek, however, will not last forever. And when I find what I'm looking for, I will not let go, not even for a second.
