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.
