_{The silence fell around them,
much like the pieces of her heart dropped
into her stomach. Was this really
all she would get? A single sentence
spoken by her lover made her lover
her lover no more.
Tears began to pool against her will,
and no amount of lip-biting would
stop their inevitable descent.
After every memory of the four years -
every kiss, every fight,
every pain, every love -
shot through her mind
as quickly (and painfully) as an arrow,
she realized her heartbreaker was waiting.
"Please, can't we... I-"
A curt shake of her former lover's head
cut her short.
"You can't stop this. You knew
When we began that 'we' wouldn't last."
A smile tried to force its way out
from behind the tears. The smile cracked
into sobs and soon they were
back in each other's arms, as though
everything was still going to be fine.
"...I'll always love you..." she whispered.
"I know... I love you too..."
The words, though sincere, brought
no comfort; not when
The tests results came back positive
for cancer.}
