What I'm Left With

What I'm left with

When you help two people build their home, you do it with your heart. You love them and they love each other and you want them happy. So you do it. It's not your home to build but you help them. Of course they do all the heavy lifting. To them it seems like you only contribute a few bricks. But those bricks? Those are rainbow coloured bricks that are thr most precious in your collection. Took you years to find them. Took you years to make them what they are now. So to those who are building a whole home, they are just a tiny part of what makes it whole. But to you who only has the best in your heart for them, you are giving them your heart. Do they see that? The thing is...they do. But when they see each other's heart? Yours just feels like some five year old kid's macaroni heart. So after all this, after all this giving and after all this loving and after all this overextending and accommodating, I ask you: What are you left with?
