Talking Inside
Heart is crying>>
Brain: Oh, dear heart, why are you so fragile?
Heart: excuse me? If you had feelings you would know what it’s like to be heartbroken!
Brain: I told you many times, to listen to me. He wasn’t the one for you!
Heart: How do you know?
Brain: It was obvious. First of all I recalled, he was late to the date and didn’t apologize to her. Showing he doesn’t respect her time.
Heart: He could’ve been nervous right? And completely forgot under those nerves?
Brain: Second of all, he was rude to the server. Who asks for water and then says to hurry with the order? That just shows his lack of care to strangers.
Heart: Yes.. your right, that was very rude of him but the way he makes her feel..
Brain: Explain..
Heart: Well, she never met anyone like him, he’s like a breath of fresh air.. she literally stopped breathing when she saw him.
Lung: It’s true, she never stopped breathing for so long, she was really shocked to see him
Brain: Really? Wait, hey lung, why are you in this conversation?
Lung: Umm,, well I’m rooting for the heart, you know what they say “listen to your heart”
Brain: Yes, but she should also think of this realistically, it’s the smart thing to do
Heart: I am smart , brain! I know what I am saying
Brain: I know your very smart, but your feelings overcome you and you get easily swayed by them
Heart: I want to give people another chance, I want to see the good in others
Brain: Fine, if you say so
The heart returns from the next date>>
Brain: So…how did the date go.. ( in a mocking tone)
Heart: (Crying)you were right!!! He is a total jerk! He poured a glass of water on the waiter this time since she accidentally charged them for the wrong meal. He got upset and said he accidentally poured water on her. But he did it on purpose!
Brain: Can I say that I told you so?
Heart: Yes, fine you were totally right! Why does this keep happening? I thought I should give him another chance because she cares about him, but if he acts like he doesn’t care about others, then it just won’t work. He’s not even trying to be nice too.
Lung: Oh no.. heart.. I’m so sorry to hear that!!
Brain: Oh heart.. see, you are fragile. You are vulnerable and naive
Lung: hey! Stop that! Why are you so rude to heart?
Heart: (Crying)
Brain: She never listens to me
Lung: Yes, she has her own mind that’s why, but you should be nice too. You said some hurtful things to her. She’s always nice and caring, be a little more nicer to her.
Brain: Ok, ok. I went too far. I’m sorry heart. I’m sorry for hurting your feelings.
Lung: That’s more like it. Ok I am heading out, the person is doing some jogging outside, so I’m going to have a lot of work to do.
Brain: Bye lung. Thanks
Heart: Byeee
Brain: Are you okay heart?
Heart: Yes, I want the person to find someone good for her. Someone who is as nice as her and is kind and caring.
Brain: You are really nice, heart
Heart: Thank you. The human will find someone one, one day, for now I will just have to protect her as much as I can
Brain: Me too. I will make sure she thinks of the next one through more carefully
Heart: Yes! Thank you!! Ok brain, back to work!
Brain: Bye heart
Heart: Bye!!
