Distracted

Distract the heart with other emotions than that of

Love.

Distract the heart with excitement, with laughter, with joy.

Distract it with memories of being a little girl and boy.

Distract it with conversations of intellectual thought,

Though sometimes distract it with those that are not.

Keep it enthralled with the day's many moments.

Enthrall it with what options that day were not chosen.

If sadness does come, welcome it to see

How deeply I do care for thee.

My dearest friend, the only

Whom I write of,

My heart is now

Distracted

Completely

With

Love
