Meredith had always been good to the bone. She with a natural gift of making a smile come across a young boy's face.

Thomas was not equipped to fight such a feeling she brought him. This new illness crept in without warning. Thomas had no choices in his new found helplessness. He only a boy of 9 years had no need for marriage, job, home and kids. Why were these thoughts in his mind he wondered. Her voice so innocent and pure, her laughter music, her face angelic. Sweet these two hearts were never meant to be.

Thomas too young to know such a great feeling could go so wrong. He swept under the rug this knot in his throat. Thomas did go on, confusion still lingering with no one to answer a broken heart. The boy did go on to love only to have broken hearts keep happening over and over again. He gave up wounded and harmed, life didn't need to be so cruel. After all he didn't deserve love to be so vicious. He didn't cry a tear, the shock he did feel. His pained spirit lived in denial so no one could find his love they may take it and break in time.

Thomas lives alone now, watching people in love. It's beauty he can admire from a distance. He is safe and alone with no one to hurt him.
