['Many years ago, I fell in love with a beautiful woman with whom I was totally entranced. We were together for about three months, then she suddenly cut things off. She had told me she loved me. But in our final conversation, she denied ever having said so.']
That is really mean. I am sorry.
When I was much younger, I fell in love deeply in love with a woman, with whom I wanted to spend the rest of my life. After three months of being with her she left. She told me she didn't love me, even though she had told me she did and even went so far as to deny she ever said she did.
