Heartache

This morning when i was doing my loo reading i came across a story about a girl who was away on holiday with her family.

Now she was madly in love with her girlfriend who unfortunately was also away in her own holiday miles apart.
Flannery, that was her name, missed Anne so desperately that she feels she's in her own world. And regretfully she cannot invite anyone to her little world, because being a closet lesbian Flannery cannot talk about her girlfriend to anyone in the house. This drives her mad because being away from Anne the only thing that she can thinks of and wants to talk of is of course her darling Anne. In fact that was what her little world consist of, Anne or at least thoughts of Anne.

She then wrote that her heart actually ache from loving Anne and being away from her. The ache was physical as if an organ was missing from her hollow chest. She had always thought that heartache was only superflous word poets use to describe love. But in fact she finds out that heart ache is literally an ache in your heart. Its like a head ache except it's in your chest rather than your head.

Amid my own ache namely stomachache, quite common while someone is in her loo, i came to realise that Flannery was right.
I too with my share of romance had experience the ache that she was experiencing. It feels like your heart slackens a bit, and not pumping quite as it should be. It's like there's something pressing your chest, and sometimes it makes me cry because it becomes unbearably painful. Now i never knew that it's heartache nor that it had anything to do with love. I didn't even knew what heartache is. I always thought love as feeling and not something that can be translated to bodily function or disfucntion in this matter. but apparently it can. When you fall in love it's not only your feelings quite often referred as your heart, but your body also responds.

So people there's nothing superflous about Heart Ache, it's just an ache like any other ache. Except that i don't know the remedy for it....
