I can feel you all around me

Thickening the air I'm breathing

Holding on to what I'm feeling

Savoring this heart that's healing

His world had shattered the day that she left him. Just like that she left, leaving him alone and utterly dazed. What went wrong? They had been in love, or so he thought. The engagement ring was there on her finger for the world to see. Then out of the blue she tells him that she met another man, that she loved him instead. He could see it in her eyes, the love she had had for him was gone. He might have been able to accept it had it not been for the man she had left him for. That hurt more than anything. And the heart that she had been so lovingly and patiently putting back together, helping him to be a better person, was left to wither under the ice wall he had resumed building around it. She had tried to soften the blow that she was sure to come, but nothing could have prepared him for the pain.

My hands float up above me

And you whisper you love me

And I begin to fade

Into our secret place

Her decision to leave him had been as much of a surprise to her as it had been to him. One day she was happy in love, and the next she was madly in love with a complete stranger. She knew from the moment she saw him sitting next to that fountain she was meant to be with him. He offered her something that she had never expected to find in this life; a happily ever after. She broke one man's heart in exchange for the heart of happily ever after. The ironic thing was, happily ever after ended much too soon.


Hope you're intrigued... Don't worry there's more to come.
