Verisimilitude

The heart begins beating at 4 weeks
after conception and doesn't stop till death.

Until I met you I was only

three weeks old.

The fetal heart rate is approximately 

twice as fast as an adults. 

Yours was going 72 

mine was going 146.

Plato theorized that reasoning 

originated in the brain, but that

passions originated in the heart.

You see, my frontal lobe
was FAR from developed.

The "thump-thump" of a heartbeat

is the sound made by the four 

valves of the heart closing.

Your thump-thumps kept
getting louder and louder.

75 trillion cells receive blood from

the heart. The only thing that doesn't 

receive blood is the corneas.

75 trillion cells receive blood
unless you tie a tourniquet, 
and you tied it all too close to me.

About 610,000 people die of heart

disease in the US every year. 

That makes heart disease
1 in every 4 deaths.

While making sure you were 
one of the 3, it got me 

a lot closer to being that 1.

Your heart beat changes and 

mimics the music you listen to.

I listened to you for hours on 

end, so it was no surprise when 

my heart sounded exactly like you.

Your heart beat changes and

mimics the music you listen to,

and your heart sounded 

nothing like me.

Because the heart has its own
electrical impulse, it can continue
to beat even when separated from
the body as long as it has an
adequate oxygen supply.
