She knows what is going on between the two of them, he has made it very clear. He no longer wants her in his life. He wants absolutely nothing to do with her. But she still loves him, even after he told her he was seeing another woman. Their relationship may be over, but their feeling for one another will never be mutual.

I have stacks of bills to pay, and not a single dollar to play them with. I am the 99%.
I have no idea what this word is, so I'm going to look it up on dictionary.com I learned a new word today. Prosperous-financial success or good fortune; well-off. I guess you really do learn something new everyday.
Before you came, everything was in line, neatly arranged like a place setting. Not a single item out of order, until you showed up. Once you came into the picture, everything changed. You used them all, every last one. Left them in a state of destruction. From calm to chaos is a matter of minutes.
