Let the HEART Speak

You were asking my opinion about a person you like
And I answered you all you wanted to know.
You noted the points I said—would consider it heartily.
Thank you for asking me, trusting me with those matters.
I appreciate the thoughtful inquiry you made.

But let me tell you the truth, I was nervous.
I hesitated because
I didn’t want my ideas be significant in your decisions
And my heart told me to be truthful to you.
I was hurt, but I continued.

All I want is for you to be happy.
All I want is to see you grow.
I said bad things more than the good ones
But those were not meant to give him inequity
Those were things you were asking me to say—my opinion.

But I tell you this; follow your heart no matter
What people will say.  Listen to where
Your feelings are coming from. Those are the things
I have not done and have regretted
So please, let your heart speak.

Listen to it but don’t let it blind you;
Lead your heart first before letting it lead you.
At the end of the day, you and you alone
Can answer the questions that rest inside you
And I wish that all your decisions be the best for you.
