Heart balloons

Maybe you were sleeping and didn’t notice, frog-like in your cot, mouth open catching flies. But, a little while ago, I tied the string of my heart to yours. Now they’re bumping along together, my heart and yours, two red balloons invisible to the outside world.

And although one day – far from now – I know I will need to let your heart balloon fly, its shape will forever be imprinted on my soul and I will treasure it every day as you soar off on your own life adventure.
