When I was younger- perhaps 12ish- I thought that heartache wasn't possible. I didn't see how emotions could affect your body in such a way. I didn't believe that it could cause physical pain, excluding self-injury, which was something I had already acquainted myself with at that age.
I used to think that so now I find it ironic that my heart hurts so much that I wish I had been right. It's been years since I first felt this and I still don't know how it's possible- how longing or loneliness could make this hunk of muscle feel bruised and raw. It seems like nonsense.
