Veins and Arteries

I studied the nature of human veins.

It is a system of blood vessels where the blood flows and it was tasked to transport the blood back to our hearts.

Then I remember you.

You are not the veins; however, you are the arteries. Your mission is to carry the blood whose rich in oxygen from my heart through all regions of my body — and you did. You gave me chills whenever you are in the street looking at me. You made me faint whenever you’re not around — you keep me alive.

Conversely, I can’t hide the truth that I am the veins. You carry all the love I want but I was asked to give all it back. Because you’re in love with another heart and body. And like veins, I am only a passageway.
