I want to take back at least half of the I love you’s, because I didn’t mean them as much as the other ones. I want to take back the secrets I told you so I can decide whether to tell them to you again. I want to take back the piece of me that lies in you, to see if I truly miss it. D.L.
You know that when I hate you,
it is because I love you to a point
of passion that unhinges my soul.
Julie de Lespinasse
You pushed me away over five years ago. Our divorce was done twelve months later. You remarried two years later. I know we are OVER, but I still love you and dream about you often. Will my heart always be so crowded with you leaving no room for anyone else? R.Y.
I see you in my dreams, and awake with delight,
first thing in the morning, all through the night.
My heart can’t let go, even though I have tried,
I feel a part of me has been lost and died.
…I wish you happiness and I wish you so much love,
and I hope you find what you deserve, as it’s you I’m thinking of.
I won’t be selfish and to you my heart does send, this
message to the one I love and will love until the end.
From “My Heart Can’t Let Go” by Penny 02-06-07
First I lost you. A month later I was fired from the job I really liked. I had to sell my car. My landlord is selling my cheap apartment, so I have to move. There isn’t much left except my love for you. If I can lose that maybe I will finally be free, but what if I don’t want to be? P.D.
Nothing,
Everything,
Anything,
Something:
If you have nothing,
then you have everything,
because you have the freedom to do anything,
without the fear of losing something.
Jarod Kintz
Most days I get a little better at letting you go, but it’s damn hard! I still love you and miss you. Once in a while I wake up and for a moment wonder why you’re not in bed with me, then I remember; you don’t want me any more. You’ve moved on. I hope some day I can too. F.O.
Forget his name
Forget his face
Forget his kiss
His warm embrace
Forget the love you once knew
Remember he has someone new
Forget him when they played your song
Remember when you cried all night long
Forget how close you once were
Remember he has chosen her
Forget how you memorized his walk
Forget the way he use to talk
Forget the things he used to say
Remember he has gone away
Forget his laugh forget his grin
Forget the dimples on his chin
Forget the way he held you tight
Remember he’s with her tonight
Forget the time that went so fast
Forget the love that moved, it passed
Forget he said he’d leave you never
Remember he is gone forever.

I wake up some time and for a moment I don’t remember you’re gone. More than once I’ve picked my phone up to call you and then remembered you don’t want to hear from me. Life was challenging with you, but it is awful without you. My heart feels like it is suffocating. C.B.
I felt her absence.
It was like waking up one day
with no teeth in your mouth.
You wouldn’t need to run to the mirror
to know they were gone.
James Dashner
You’ve figured out I’m falling in love with you and you’re trying to make me stop by hurting me this way. Well it won’t work. One way or another, I’m going to make you care about me. Yes, I am, unless your cold attitude kills me first. If I’m going to be miserable, so are you. J.G.
No one ever fell in love gracefully.
Connie Brockway
I’ve never stopped thinking of you. The minutes become hours; hours turn into days. Soon there are weeks, months and years. Thoughts of you have been on my mind through five years, four months, three days, two hours and one minute. It’s 2:01am. I’m thinking of you. J.B.
They say that time
heals all wounds
but all it’s done so far
is give me more time
to think about
how much I miss you.
Ezbeth Wilder.
Yesterday my Momma said ” Sweetie, if she does not care why should you? Don’t keep fightin’ for a woman who will not fight for you in return. Life is too short and there’s someone out there who will be just as interested in you as you are in her. Move on so she can find you.” R.B.
Cause I loved her from a distance
Like an angel watching from afar
I never had the nerve to mention
The fire burning in my heart.
I knew a boy like me
Never would’a stood a chance
So I did the best I could
And I loved her from a distance.
From the song “From A Distance” by Corey Smith
Sometimes I forget we’re divorced for an hour or so, never much longer. All while the process was going on I thought you’d change your mind and somehow things would still work out. Now I realize you have left me completely behind and that really, really, really hurts! R.B.
You don’t die
from a broken heart.
You only wish
you did.

I keep telling my self, of course, you’re going to get your heart-broken. That’s part of life, and it makes me stronger. One day someone will come along, and it’ll all pay off. Then no one will ever break my heart again; that is once I get over you and how you hurt me. A.F.
As soon as
forever is through,
I’ll be over you.
