No one told me that love would be this hard. No one told me that if it didn't work out I would be wandering around like a zombie, arms outstretched like a blind man stumbling through a crowd of people who aren't even aware of his existence. No one told me that the woman who said she would always be there would abscond like a thief in the night. Now she's gone and there's a picture of my heart on the back of a milk carton asking "Have you seen this?"

No one told me forever had an expiration date.

    Agree with Drew. What a sad realisation! Great last line. And thanks, Christopher, you prompted me out of my self-inflicted drabble famine with the zombie reference. I'm back in the zaddle again. :-)

    Thanks, guys. I'm having a hard time right now so I appreciate the support.

    Neville, I'm glad I could give you a metaphorical kick in the creative keister.
