Wondering will the love one had ever he replaced. Learning by one's mistakes is a hard way to live. Resentment, pain, grief, and misery is what one can give. When one gave into temptation, a loss therefore followed. Not only did one feel of betrayal but two hearts sulked in sorrow. Time provided for the breakage of two that resulted in a shattered dream. One now seeks the lost love one hopes to redeem. Though the two have united once again. it takes time for the pain to come to an end. The two have yet to come close to receive each others love. For if one does not reach the other. it is always to be shattered, that dream they dream of. Lisa C.
