How was I to know there was still a flame in my heart for you? I could not have imagined all these years later such sweet feelings were waiting to be awakened. Time’s been a kind companion. It fogged out the heartache and left only deeply joyful memories of you. J.B.
You have my heart inside your hands,
you can do what ever you want with it…
BURN it,
BREAK it,
BUT remember you are inside.

You’ve been in my heart for so many years, never knowing where you were or even if you were still alive. I thought you ceased loving me long ago. Now to know you never lost what you felt for me renews the pain of losing you, but the joy I feel is so much stronger. M.E.
When it rains it reminds me of you.
Although 2000 miles away is so far away,
I still always walk outside in the rain
and kiss it just for you. It never fails me.
The rain will always come
and I’ll always love you.
The next time you see a storm on the horizon,
don’t worry, it’s just heaven doing me the favor
of taking you my kiss. Walk outside
and kiss the rain whenever you need me.

There is regret in my soul that it took so long, but I forgive you. If there is still love in your heart for me, say so. It does not matter whether we are together or not. It does not matter if I ever see you again. Above everything what does matter is if you still love me. B.C.
What I have evidence of
in every letter, in every word….
Write no new letters,
speak no new words,
look no new looks;
only tell me,
years hence
that the present is alive,
that what was once, still is
and I am … blessed as ever.
Robert Browning To Elizabeth Barrett March 11, 1846
Love doesn’t come with instructions. One learns through mistakes and heartbreak. I was immature and ignorant when we were a couple. Maybe if I hadn’t acted like a child you would still be here and I wouldn’t have ended up loving someone who’s a long time gone. J.W.
When you lose someone you love,
you never get over it.
You get used to it.
Harriet Morgan
The pain from you casting me aside felt like it was going to kill me at times. The emptiness was crushing. Now two years later I still care about you, but it’s not a bad thing anymore. I’m in love with someone new now, but know you will always have a place in my heart. P.S.
Let no one who loves
be called altogether unhappy.
Even love unreturned has its rainbow
Eaton Stannard Barret
There are days when you might feel I don’t remember you. I’m not texting you, not even calling you. What you don’t know is, all those times, I am waiting for you to come help me. I know I’m an addict, but I can change; I really can! Please give me a chance. A.C.
She goes from one
addiction to another.
All are ways for her
to not feel her feelings.
Ellen Burstyn
If it were possible I’d bear your pain for you. But I can’t make the abuse you suffered as a kid go away. When things get to you, please remember I did not hurt you; I’ll always be here for you and most of all I love you with all my heart. You’re safe with me. J.D.
Only the weak are cruel.
Gentleness can only be
expected from the strong.
Leo Buscaglia
My love for you is strong and keeps me going. No matter the distance; regardless of how much time, I’ll never stop trying to find you. Tragedy of war separated us, but I’ll keep moving; ever-moving step by step toward holding you once more in my arms. T.K.
Stone walls do not a prison make,
Nor iron bars a cage;
If I have freedom in my love,
And in my soul am free,
Angels alone that soar above
Enjoy such liberty.
Richard Lovelace
I can go days without talking to you, months without seeing you, but not a second goes by that I don’t think about you. My beautiful butterfly, what we shared was short in time, but long in memory. Where ever you are, I cast my love to the wind in hopes it can find you. A.P.
Love reckons hours for months, and days for years;
and every little absence is an age.
John Dryden
Love has found me several times. Each meeting then parting took away a piece of me. After losing you I don’t think there is enough of me left to ever love again. So I am just going to go on loving you even though you are not here. My heart is too tired to do anything else. C.B.
As you get older, the heart shed its leaves like a tree.
You cannot hold out against certain winds.
Each day tears away a few more leaves;
and then there are the storms
that break off several branches at one go.
And while nature’s greenery
grows back again in the spring,
that of the heart never grows back.
Gustave Flaubert
