Description Her beauty eclipses even the sun. From the moment I awaken, my thoughts are no other place. I remember all the details, every little thing she's ever said. Always nagging in the back of my mind is a dirty little idea that she doesn't feel the same way.

Forever. She tells me she'll love me forever. Never in my life have I been so happy. I feel like I could fly. The days, weeks, and months go by. I'm floating in a rapturous sea. The tides carry me home to my love's embrace.

Her embrace is as sweet as anything on this world or any other. The touch of her skin sends shivers down my spine. The sensation never flickers, the infatuation never wanes. My body buzzes with passion.

The world turns white. She tells me of another who makes her feel stronger, more whole. My world crumbles. I run from the situation, hoping it's all a dream. As I wander, I find it is not.

My travels take me away from the people and places of my now agonizing past. I see things I never imagined were possible. I meet people who are the most amazing friends and acquaintances.

My mind always returns to the reason I ended up where I did. She left me, and there's nothing to change it. I feign happiness and contentment to the masses. They never sense anything out of place. In my mind, I call them fools and lackwits.

But are they really that dumb? They show how they feel, whereas I can not imagine opening myself in that manner.

I'll never forget her, I can't forgive. Things spiral out of reach. My mind is occluded. The light can never reach my heart again. The night comes, and the end is nigh. My body dries away, but my spirit lingers ever on.

The spirit of a forlorn lover. The spirit of a hopeless romantic. The spirit of one that loved and lost. I haunt my former home, hoping for a glimpse of the lost one. Only dust and memories remain.

Forever.

"It is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all." So the saying goes, but they lied about the reality of loving and loosing... it hurts like hell. I'm actually experiencing that pain now, though I keep fighting to keep that love alive. As long as love lives in you there is hope. Hang in there... you'll find love again.

Aye I also live the life as a lost romantic. Doing anything to find someone to fill my heart. But you have taken a hard blow my friend. And though it seems like you'll never find somone like her, if the feeling ever comes about someone else, do not fight it. Stop waiting for her if you can. I don't expect you to forget her, only aknowlege the fact that there are others. My grievences for what your going through.

It's a slow recovery process, but it gets easier every day.

This made me cry. I am sorry that you ever had to go through this. Heartbreak, especially something like that, is something I would never wish upon. Not even my worst enemy. I am in the same situation you are in, and it's a terrible feeling.
