What if
your heart secretly becomes your weakness…
a Trojan horse.
What if
you caught it reminiscing about things you expressly told it not to…
What if
it wilfully tricks you into loitering on memory lane,
cherry-picking memories and dragging your mind along…
What if the same heart keeps you awake at nights, breathless…
daydreaming,
rearranging thoughts,
fiddling with obstinate emotions,
curating desires, and exorcising regrets…
What if the same recurrent dreams seep into your mind and stubbornly settle…
What if your heart promises to obey you
but almost immediately,
it pulls you back in time, in the same direction, to the same destination…
What if your rebellious heart keeps reaching for the unreachable…
although it knows being hopeful is hopeless…
What if you constantly reprimand that heart,
which keeps promising to listen, but it doesn’t…
and once you resolve to move past the past,
it refuses to switch gears.
If this feels all too familiar,
don’t judge yourself too harshly…
it’s not your fault…
You are simply afflicted
with a quite common case of a smitten gangster heart.
