Lyrics

Heart string.

Distance love connection
Pulling on my heart string

Should I tie it off
Or let it flow?

Never know the doors
A single text can open

Can I weave one string
To the next?

Distance love connection
Pulling on my heart string

The string starts in my chest
The heart does the rest

Lovers come and go
I let them in

Never know the doors
A single text can open

You choose what you choose
You give it your best

That's living

Not to win
Just to begin

Not to win
Just to begin

Not to win
Just to begin

Again.

Interpretation

Voluntary vulnerability. The poem frames love as a tensile line—distance doesn't sever it; it reveals its pull. Choice replaces certainty: knot or bow, safety or risk. Texts become portals; continuity is woven rather than guaranteed. Loss and mess are acknowledged as costs of aliveness, not failures. The ethic resolves into courage without outcome-attachment: going "all in" not to win, but to begin—repeatedly. Emotional vector: deliberation → acceptance of risk → commitment to renewal.
