Hearts are made to be broken, they get stronger by the day

While on the bus, I remembered this particular scene from some drama serial some time back.

---

Girl meeting up guy who was getting married the next day. Guy is marrying someone else out of obligation.

They had a wonderful day out doing ordinary things which felt extraordinary because of each other's company; and of course the fact that the next day was his big day made it all the more precious.

At the end of the day, she said to him, "Thanks. I really enjoyed myself today."

He looked at her and wanted to say something but he stopped. He didn't have to say anything for they both understood.

She continued in a choking voice, "Thanks for this last meeting. Promise me, let's not meet again. I can take it. It's not the first time I had to deal with this. I wish you all the best."

I know it sounds rather cliched but I felt quite touched by it. To the extent that I can still remember it now. Gasp!

How would you feel if you hear that someone you love is going to get married? Or that he/she has fallen in love with someone else?

Do you believe that hearts are made to be broken? That they get stronger by the day? I used to think so but now I don't think I can take another setback. I don't think I can take another chance and drop my defenses so easily anymore. It's harder to believe in love these days.
