how many times do you need to get your heart broken?

One.
The beating is not enough. Yours. His.
It's the same sound but different speed.
You had him. He had you.
You broke your heart by breaking his.


Two.
Seats apart. Face-to-face.
It's burning in his eyes "Stay, stay, stay".
You watched him cry and wiped his tears.
You broke your heart for breaking his.


Three.
No words spoken. The world has shut down.
It's voiceless but still shouting; begging; waiting.
You saved him but he lost you.
You broke your heart by keeping his.


Four.
The loneliness crept that night.
It's there but you don't see it anymore.
You cried while nobody was there.
You broke your heart for losing his.


Five.
The lost and the found. The 'what' and the 'who'.
It's fading. It's leaving. And it has found a new place too.
You were high when you were down.
You broke your heart by needing his.


Six. (And the last, hopefully)
The late nights and the small talks.
It's not the same but it's something familiar.
You got him. He got you.
You broke your heart by thinking you can still have his.
