Open-Ended Romance

An open-ended romance left with questions un-answered.  One lover sits alone silently awaiting a solution, while the other continues on with life relieved of the stress.  One aches to win back the affection she so quickly lost, but is anable to due to the circumstances.
This is a situation she was expecting, but not so soon, not this way.  The other moves on, finds new love without looking back at the one he gave away.
Is he aware of the pain he caused her?  Does he feel pain himself?
She searches for closure, for answers to lingering questions.  She wants so badly to pick up the phone, dial his number, but stops when his last words ring in her ears.
"Stop calling me, forget me".
Why?
Why such abrupt words after such a happy romance?
A short-lived romance haulted by a lover's desire for more will linger on in memory for eternity.
But the questions will remain unswered.  The closure never to be found.
