I realize now that the love harbored for her soul was mindless. It was nothing to her, no matter how many times she showed me it meant something. I realize now that her heart was instead made of stone, and not made of the gold I imagined it as. I realize now that my daydreams became nightmares, because she left without a word. Nothing was spoken. The air was dry and left untouched. Because I loved her. And she didn't love me. An illusion I suppose, but if the stars continue to shine, and she continues to live, I will be fine. She hated me all along. And I wouldn't have it any other way.
