My mom ‘loved’ my dad, but she left him. My mom ‘loved’ me, but she abandoned me. Dimitri ‘loved’ me, but he left me. Christian’s parents loved him, but they became soulless monsters and tried to turn him into the same. Lissa ‘loved’ me but she threw me away. And I thought some small part of Adrian ‘loved’ me, until the day he hit me. Someone once said that it is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all. I have to say that I disagree. Because I learned the hard way that LOVE is a four letter LIE. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* It has been 4 years since LS.
