Heart and Mind

If it were between my heart and mind
It would be hard for me to choose
Which of the two I'd rather keep
And which I'd be okay to lose.
In my mind I dream and grow
And I am who I am-
While in my heart I hold desire
From where I love and give all I can.
Without my mind, I would be lost
For I could never have learned;
And without my heart, I would prove untrue,
When love for me could not be returned.
And although I hold true to my belief
That our heart carries our soul,
I equally know that inside our mind
Rests the memories that made it grow.
So, between my heart and mind,
If I was asked to decide which should go,
I would have to ask that my heart leave me first 
So no matter what happened, I'd know.
