POCKET HEART

when I met you
I wore my heart on my sleeve.
Our smiles met, and locked.

You took my heart and kept it in your pocket.
"It will be safer here," you said,
and smiled.

We laughed, we smiled,
we hiked up the sunshine
and up the rain
to expansive mountain views
and down again.

We were in love,
and planned to be forever.

If only you had not taken
my heart with you when you left.
Because now I have to cry
from missing you
and my heart.
