(Smiled) He knew the exact moment at which his heart had ceased to be his. He had no hope of regaining the fragile thing, either, and (followed) let it go.

(Laughed) He knew the moment it had been lost completely. He had no chance of showing it the right way, and (remained lost himself) let it flutter off.

(Frowned) He knew the first time it had cracked. He had no hope of saving it, and (cried) let it crack.

(Cried) He knew the precise time at which it had stopped. He had no way of starting its motion again, and (cursed his pride) let the whole thing fall.

(Wounded) He knew when it had been broken. He had no way of gathering all those shattered pieces, and (broke with them) let them be further crushed underfoot.

(Awakened) He knew the moment at which it started again. He had no intention of stopping it, and (watched) let it do what it wanted.

(Smiled) He knew the second time he had lost it. He had no hope of regaining it again, and let it go with her (wishing he could too).

(Changed) He knew the time that his heart returned to him. He had no need for it, and (suffered his inability) let it be.

(Grew) He knew the exact moment his heart offered itself to another but remained his. He had not intended it, but it seemed right (and the right thing was what he'd always believed in anyway).
