Dates and Heartbreaks

She always believed in one-love, one-man and happily-ever-afters. You know, the things that novels and movies make you believe in. She was a hopeless romantic and she waited for "the one" until life hit her. Like a truck with no brakes. 

Awful. 

She gave up. 

Keeping her dreams and hopes aside, she  started behaving like how normal people do. She entered the dating pool. 

Was it all casual? Yes, indeed. Was it that she wanted? Certainly not. 

Every time she went on a date, her hopes soared. She dreamt of a fairytale. What she got was disappointment. 

Each man left with a piece of her heart. Yet, her heart grew back, with all the hopes right in place. 

They wanted sex. She wanted love. They were ready to call it "love making", nothing beyond that. 

And one day, she died. Passing on her legacy of hopes to another woman. 

She started dreaming of a happily ever after.
