I know i've been a liar and i know i've been a fool

She loved him very much. But in her opinion, he would not bring her a secure future. So she walked away, getting married to someone else.
Did she love her husband? Yes she did.
Did she love him still? Yes she still did.
A few years down the road, she was diagnosed with cancer.
She died at the age of 34.
And his heart was gone with her.

It is a true story I heard today. She traded her heart's desire for a secure future only to know that she did not have much of a future.
It got me thinking. Life is too short, for fooling around with your heart and lying to yourself.
