See What You Want

I turned over, wincing in pain, with eyes closed and saw hearts. Beautiful, cute and baby pink hearts. I always read that when one is beaten black and blue they see stars. So how is it different for me?!
Nevertheless, the two little hearts I saw brought an immediate smile on my lips. I forgot the pain and decided to dwell on the twin hearts that danced before me like confetti in air. Not that I wouldn't have liked seeing 'stars'.  But now that sounds so ordinary.
Just for an instance and it changed everything. I tell myself, it's not like I will now expect to see only hearts when I close my eyes. Instead, I tell myself, I can see what I want.
