Love conquers all?

"Yeah I took him back. Everyone deserves a second chance. He called me the other night and said he was sorry, and, I forgave him."

In a few words you were able to destroy me. Within those few words a part of me died.

We aren't even together, we never were, we were just friends, but, it just felt like you were my girl.

Or should be.

I have never fallen in love with anyone the way I fell for you. Heck, we've never even kissed before, but, I swear I love you just as much my high school sweetheart...maybe more.

I tried to hide the fact that I was dying. I tried to hide my pain behind laughter. But my heart was breaking into a million pieces and I didn't have the strength to try and catch them.

So I just let them break.

Funny thing about heartbreak...you don't feel any actual pain in your heart but this cold undescribable feeling in the pits of your stomach.

It just feels...like...
emptiness

As the tears streamed down my face I tried to continue the conversation without gagging. I tried my best to keep my voice from breaking, but, if I had stayed on the phone with you one minute longer I would have lost more than my heart.

I know now there is nothing I can do to make you mine. So, I won't be telling you I still love you.

Love just doesn't matter anymore.

Love conquers all?

No, not this time.
