“I’ve got a golden ticket!” my heart shouted. I have finally allowed her out to feel the sunshine. She is skipping like a 4 year old in a meadow. I have been afraid to put her down. There are all sort of things lurking in the grass, and the last time I put her down she got dirty. It took a while to clean the animosity filth from her pretty surface, and truth be told, I was apprehensive about letting her out and putting her down.
Contrary to popular belief, it takes a village to raise a heart. She of the sensitive mind (she is oh so sensitive) and without her purity and upbeat manner, I feel devoid of my spirit. I am enjoying the sunshine now, how it has illuminated her dark areas and made her beat with happiness. I have been her keeper for some time now, but I now know that has changed.
He came quite suddenly. He walked right up to me and loosened the grip that I had on my heart. He didn’t just pull it from me, but he was a piped piper of sorts; he lulled my raging spirit until I was calm enough to release her. I had been suffocating her for years. He picked her up with a playfulness, tickled her insides. He was much stronger than I was. He knew that she was strong enough to handle the freedom that comes with giving my heart unrestricted love…

What a wonderful way to describe (if I understand this correctly) a man coming along and releasing the bondage that you have held onto so tightly around your heart.
