“I have known love. I have had it, held it tight, and lost it. A broken heart cannot be mended, for when true love is given, hearts are traded between two souls. And between the two, the other's heart shall forever remain. That is why when love is lost, the pain is so immense. You have no control of where your heart is taken, by the one you forever will love.”
