Prologue

Pain.

Pain is my friend. If I am in pain, then I truly know that I am still here.

My life has been filled with pain since that terrible day in September when I parted with the true love of my existence.

The one love that I would travel any number of miles, go to any distance to preserve.

The one love who has my heart, and I won't get it back until I see them again.

I don't know if that is going to happen though.

So I have gone on. I get up every morning, I go to work, I do what I have to do…but I am not truly alive.

For my heart has been taken from me, and travels with the soul of another.
