love is emptiness as well as fulfillment
i sat and listened to her as she told me the last of her secrets. this friend of mine who had never known love, whose life had been spit and nails and broken glass. abandoned by her family and left to deal with the darkness of abuse over the years, she had finally found that love, the experience of being with the "one". and now she had to let it all go. my heart broke and came back together, and broke again. i could barely handle the immensity of it.
