How's your heart?

This is my favorite question both to ask and be asked. Because, well. It means a lot more than "how are you doing?" or something like that. I have answered this many times with tears and laughs and hugs and sometimes with just the nod/shake of a head. And sometimes that's all it takes. 

This question let's someone know just how much you care, how much you love. It says "Tell me everything and then some." This is the question of real relationships.

And this question makes me miss the ones that have come to answer this question with abandon.
