Lori-
Simply brilliant!
It hit me like a blast of recognition! You don't have to walk through life very long before you meet a candy coated kisser. Reminds me of my sister and I as preschoolers climbing up to the high cupboard and sneaking my mothers candy coated iron tablets. They were lovely and sweet at first but boy were we rudely awakened to our error when we got sooooo sick!

Almost all has been said, except "love can be both bitter and sweet at the same moment" This work said it without being melodramatic and verbose.

This is good.

Question, is dieing [meaning to color] spelled right or should it be [dying] as in dead? Changes the whole context.

Good work. ~E

Speaking of heart --your words have heart dear lady... very nicely written and I love the fact you showed: candy and hearts are cheap if they aren't backed with actions and upheld promises.
