With those words, Christine died a thousand deaths. Five little words destroyed all her hopes and dreams. She discovered that happiness was fleeting; but pain, so palpable. Love was just a shroud, to be cast off on a whim. Pain, though, so real and thick that it encompassed her soul. "Tis better to love and lost, than to never have loved at all" crossed her mind. Not so. She would have given anything to not know this pain, this aching despair that grabbed at her heart. To never have her beloved.but only in her dreams.
