Do you know how there are moments when the world moves so slowly you can feel your bones shifting, your mind tumbling? When you heart is pumping to an irregular beat that you’re not used too?
Matters of the human heart are inexplicable and can be controlled by a defibrillator, unkind words, a massaging hand, or even just a look. Sonnets and entire books have been devoted to the meaning of love, how the human heart works, and how something much bigger than us made such a thing. The blood pump in your chest is a small machine that weighs less than a pound, and beats roughly 35 million times a year. You can't live or love without it. There are veins and arteries going in and out of this machine that keep you alive every single second. During the course of your life, the heart never gives up, never quits. Once it starts in the womb, it has the liver, gall bladder, pancreas, small intestines, stomach, colon, large intestines, lungs, spleen, and brain depending on its every beat. Every pump of blood that has been oxygenated has the lungs gasping, every bone waiting for the supply to come around once more, every single brain cell waiting for the blood to reassure its pure being. The heart never offers to relinquish. The four most important parts of a heart contains two atriums, two ventricles, but something that a health science book won’t tell you is that there is a fifth part, a hole, specifically a key hole. This key hole has one key and one key only specified for a certain person, a person that never gives up, a person that loves, and a person that chooses to never surrender.
