Scarlett: I only know that I love you.
Rhett Butler: That's your misfortune.

I lie in the dark. Looking up at the man that I love. In one quick action he reaches out and pulls my heart from my chest. His words and actions betray a viciousness that I have never known. I lie there stunned, the pain more than I can comprehend, but no tears come. He pulls me to him, touching and caressing. I imagine I am no longer me. I have become to him the one that he misses. Afterwards, I lie silently beside him. I raise and walk out, never turning back, never saying good-bye. I walk down a stairwell that I will never see again, and close the gate on my past. At that moment, I am free. My soul flies towards heaven.
