The heart has it's reasons...

a few days ago, i saw my ex-fiance for the first time in a year and a half, and it made me miss him. I talked to him last night for 3 minutes, about cell phones, and i couldn't sleep for an hour because it hurt my heart not to have him anymore. I've been fine without him, and our relationship sucked, but i still can't help but miss him. A friend of mine sent me this quote after i told him about it:

"Le cœur a ses raisons que la raison ne connaît point." Blaise Pascal

Translation: "The heart has its reasons that the reason not at all knows"


That quote is your prompt.
Take it where you will.

Rules:
No chat speak.
Don't molest your shift key.
Spell check is your friend.
Prewrites are fine as long as they are not currently in another contest.

That's all. Do your thing. Good luck.
