For such a time as this… he’s just by your side The night seemed dark and endless… Once again, what she thought wouldn’t happen come true.

I thought he loves me so much that he’s willing to spend the rest of his life with me…I thought his love for me is real… and yet he broke my heart…sniff… He’s the same just like any other guy who came and said they’ll stay… But they’re all the same!
