Healing.

 If one person could break a heart, another one can heal it. 

Those words meant everything to her, especially since he was quoting her own words back at her. When she had met him, he was consumed by his heartache, broken by the loss of a love. He’d been suffering in silence for over a year when she had met him, and in her few short months she had him smiling and his friends had noticed his change in attitude. They had told her that he was more like how he used to be, and it had made her happy to help.

They had become fast friends and she was falling for him fast.  But she was taken, and knew it could never happen. She had promised her love to someone else and she could never hurt him. She lived happy, but conflicted for a while.

Then her world was turned upside down. Her promise was meaningless now, since she was no longer loved. She was alone and broken. And then he found her, alone and damaged. Her heart had been broken, left in pieces by another, but he wanted to save her as she had saved him.

He took her in his arms, and she began to heal.

Thank you. I love you.
