That why I seem not to notice her anger even when she screams at highest pitch as possible

My… taught me the power of absolute honesty in love. She never hesitated to break my heart to get it rebuilt stronger than before… rather than watch it crumble and erode me being unaware of its own destruction. I can not give anyone her place in my heart. I would open my eyes wide even at the last moment of my life to see if she comes back to me again… she is the reason why I started this blog. She is the reason why I become a miniature poet.
And... I am yet to learn so many things….
