I Saw My Heart

I saw my heart

From the inside and out

I saw it on the screen

Of the cardiologist's machine

It looked quite normal

It looked quite plain

And there was nothing that would explain

The pressure on my chest

My fluttered heart

My constantly being out of breath

And neither the sonography, nor the lung scan

Would tell me anything about the situation

I think the cardiologist even used the word perfect

When she described my heart

Now I want to see yours

I want to see what it beats for

Could it be me?

Not fully, but partly

Or at least a small amount

But seeing mine didn't really tell my anything about anything

Except some of the shape seemed to have healed

Maybe seeing yours would tell me something about some things

A chance to see through you

What if you would leave

Without me ever seeing your heart on a screen?

What if you would leave

Without me ever seeing your heart on a screen?

Would we even have been in love?

I saw my heart

Would we even have been in love?

I saw my heart

Would we even have been in love?

I saw my heart

Would we even have been in love?
