**Convergence of Sequences in a Metric Space**

Let \((X, d)\) be a metric space. Suppose that \((x_n)\) is a sequence of points in \(X\) which converges to a point \(x \in X\), and \((y_n)\) is a sequence of points in \(X\) which converges to a point \(y \in X\). Prove that the sequence of real numbers, \(d(x_n, y_n)\) converges to \(d(x, y)\).
