Broken Heart

Like the story goes, she was waiting for the love of her life, but he never returned. They say that she is still in the mountains, waiting for him, the mountains where they met for the very first time. She waited day after day so her true life would come, but never did he come. Months had passed, but still he did not return. One day she got tired of waiting for him. She could no longer wait for him. Her heart was broken. So she did something terrible to stop the pain. She stabbed her heart. Even though she was dead, her spirit was still alive, waiting for the love of her life up in the mountains. One day he returned, he went in search of his true love, but found out she had died of a broken heart. Like the story goes, he is alive, with his true love’s spirit, but she did not want him anymore. She had waited and waited for years to see her true love. Why should she love him, if he never returned when she had been alive? She told him, “Return to your home, I no longer need you.” “But…” he said. “Just leave me like you did before, I’ve waited years for you to return, but now that you’ve returned, I know that I don’t love you anymore!” she said. He did not know what to say, so he returned home. Never did he come back. Even though she said she no longer needed her true love, she still waits for him to return. Days passed, the days turned into months and the months into years. He too, died of a broken heart. No one went to his funeral… except his true love… Mary Ann.
