I never said “I love you”, but thought you knew. You want romance, passion and love expressed openly which I can’t do. You deserve to have what you need. So I will let you go without my feelings ever being known. It’s the greatest proof of my love I have to give. S.S.
Looking back,
I have this to regret,
that too often when I loved,
I did not say so.
David Grayson
It seemed our dreams had come true. You loved me. I loved you. We thought we’d spend the rest of our lives together. We made mistakes, did things that hurt each other badly and it all slipped away. Sadly our happily ever after became three good years and too bad ones. W.S.
People change and love will die.
You’re never good enough and
you don’t know why.
Time passes & things go wrong,
but just remember life goes on.
Unknown
My love for you has lasted well after the happy days when you and me were ‘we’. I lost you a long time ago, but my heart still yearns for you and refuses to let go. Why couldn’t I love you then like I do now? Realizing what I had once it’s gone is life in an ocean of regret. G.L.
She’s somewhere in the sunlight strong,
Her tears are in the falling rain,
She calls me in the wind’s soft song,
And with the flowers she comes again.
Yon bird is but her messenger,
The moon is but her silver car;
Yea! sun and moon are sent by her,
And every wistful waiting star.
Song” by English author Richard Le Gallienne
Desire searing in my veins uncontrolled drove me to temporarily forget what love is. You walked in on me with a girl I cared nothing about but satisfying a momentary desire. In an instant love was shattered for something less meaningful than a single bite of dessert. D.K.
To cheat oneself out of love
is the most terrible deception;
it is an eternal loss for which
there is no reparation,
either in time
or in eternity.
Soren Kierkegaard
You don’t answer your phone when I call and ignore my texts. When I run into you by chance you look away and won’t speak to me. I know what I did was wrong, but there’s a lot you don’t know. Please talk to me and listen to what I have to say. I love you and I’m sorry. A.N.
Sticks and stones are hard on bones
Aimed with angry art,
Words can sting like anything
But silence breaks the heart.
Phyllis McGinley
Losing you has thrown me into a tailspin. Once I liked who I was, but now it’s difficult to even look at my reflection in a mirror. How long will I punish myself for hurting you & driving you away? Will this pain ever leave? How can I forgive myself? How do I end this torment? R.B.
The worst loneliness
is to not be comfortable
with yourself.
Mark Twain
To become such a smooth and successful liar it took you lots of practice. For a lie to happen it takes one to say it and another to believe it. As much as I blame you, I blame myself more for trusting you. If I hold a snake and get bite I’m just as responsible as the snake. A.G.
Sometimes I’m terrified of my heart;
of its constant hunger for whatever it is it wants.
The way it stops and starts.
Edgar Allan Poe
I’m asking for one night together. Just you and me; alone. And if you can honestly say you don’t feel anything for me after that night, I’ll leave. Please! Let’s put the past and our pride away for 8 hours and make sure we’re not about to throw something beautiful away. J.C.
If you have it [love],
you don’t need to have anything else,
and if you don’t have it,
it doesn’t matter much what else you have.
Sir James M. Barrie
The worst mistake of my life was to break up with you. My fear of commitment made me run. The harder you tried to love me and hold on, the greater distance I created between us. I picked fights for no reason to justify leaving you. I’m so sorry. Please forgive me. J.B.
Forgiving is love’s toughest work, and love’s biggest risk.
If you twist it into something it was never meant to be,
it can make you a doormat or an insufferable manipulator.
Forgiving seems almost unnatural.
Our sense of fairness tells us people should pay for the wrong they do.
But forgiving is love’s power to break nature’s rule.
Lewis B. Smedes
The truth hurts, so I lied. “I think we need a break. I love you but just need some space. We’ll be back together soon.” I thought that was the best way of letting you down easy. Months passed. I never called. Then realizing my mistake and calling, I found out I was too late. R.B.
So many times I thought of that day,
When you held my hand
And I walked away.
The pain in your eyes burned through me then
When I close my eyes now, I see it again.
A love so young, so unbridled and raw
Being trapped and confused was all that I saw.
How could I know what I feel today
When I closed the door on your heart
And walked away?
