Large crowds
How boisterous and bothersome
Losing one's own mother
How sorrowful and stressful
Testing
How demanding and terrifying!
Little things
Just like the big
Can send your heart beating faster
Seeing one's own love
How blissful and joyful
The good and the bad
The grand and the minuet
Can send your heart racing
Faster than a racehorse
A smile from the admired
Yes, your heart is screaming and shouting
How could it not?
The memory of excitement
How quickly your heart seems to speed up
A darkened room
A raging storm
A shadowy figure walking towards you
All of these things
Whether good or bad
Likable or loathsome
Have the ability to send you heart on a stationary flight from your chest.
