Tell It to My Heart

The boy who broke my heart is now the man who wants to mend it.
Jared was my everything until an ocean separated us and he abandoned me when I needed him most.
He forgot the promises he made.
Forgot the love he swore was eternal.
It was over before it began.
Now, he's a hot commodity, universally adored, and I'm the woman no one wants.
Pining for a boy who no longer exists is pathetic. Years pass, men come and go, but I cannot move on.
I didn't believe my fractured heart and broken soul could endure any more pain. Until Jared rocks up to the art gallery where I work, with his fiancée in tow, and I'm drowning again.
Seeing him brings everything to the surface, so I flee. Placing distance between us again, I'm determined to put him behind me once and for all.
Then he reappears at my door, begging me for another chance.
I know I should turn him away.
Try telling that to my heart.
