Prologue

The love of my life has left, though he doesn't know he has left me in such misery. I have experienced over the years in hiding my emotions, especially when they concern him.

The last time I saw him was almost a year ago, his visits becoming more infrequent over the passage of time. It has been almost 10 years since he left me here, 10 years since I got on my knees and begged him not to leave me. In those ten years I have barely spoken. I can see the concern on my friend's faces but I don't care. I know this sounds cold, but then again when he left, he took my heart with him. They try to tempt me with festivals and gatherings but I am adamant. I want nothing to do with the outside world and everything to do with him, for, without my noticing, he became my world.
