My Heart Hurts

The reaction to the sight of my first lost love

My heart hurts,
Yet I know my body is fine,
And I know the throbbing ache I feel
Is all in my head
And still each night I'm awoken
By that very same pain.

It's the same pain I feel
Every time we walk past
Seeing the other in the corner of our eyes
Yet neither of us able to find the courage
To speak.

My heart hurts.

It's the same pain I feel
Every time I kiss or hold or touch a new love,
And find that I long to hold you instead.

My heart hurts.

It's the same pain I feel,
Every time I begin to lose myself with another man,
And a reminder of you comes
Just in time to steal my happiness.

My heart hurts.

It's the same pain I feel
Every time our eyes meet in a crowded room,
And we both stop,
Fore at that moment we realize
That you are feeling the very same pain.
