Chuck,
I'm truly sorry that I keep bursting your bubble of dreams of love. I don't mean to hurt you...but I know that the loneliness must hurt...really, really hurt...deeply. I hope that your inner wounds heal with time. I promise that the next time that Heather and I are together, we'll light a candle for you in hopes that, that little light, will in some way, symbolically drive a small part of the darkness from your soul.
Be well my friend, and try not to dwell on Heather and I together...I'm sure that the empty ache that you're feeling inside will lessen with time...(well, probably anyway...)
