.and then she was gone

I am like a falling star who has finally found her place next to another in a lovely constellation, where we will sparkle in the heavens forever.
-Amy Tan

I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.
-Alfred Tennyson

I love thee, I love but thee
With a love that shall not die
Till the sun grows cold,
And the stars grow old...
-Bayard Taylor
