Why did you stop loving me? That’s the question with an elusive answer; the enigma lodged in my heart. Was I not good enough? Handsome enough? Kind enough? Fun enough? Rich enough? Caring enough? Smart enough? That haunting mystery is driving me crazy. D.S.
Every man
has his secret sorrows
which the world knows not;
and often times
we call a man cold
when he is only sad.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
With my eyes closed I can still see us together in my memories. I was very angry at you for a long time, but that feeling has mellowed. In my heart now is etched a permanent reverence for the great love we shared. That we lasted only for a time makes it no less remarkable. 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
We’re from different cultures. Our religions aren’t compatible. Our families don’t get along. You’re well educated. I didn’t finish high school. You’re rich, I’m poor. There’s so much distance separating us. It’s hard to admit but love is not enough to make it all OK. K.S.
There are things that
We don’t want to happen
But have to accept;
Things we don’t want to know
But have to learn;
And people
We can’t live without
But have to let go.

I could’ve been happy with you the rest of my life. Like something of little value you tossed me aside. And for HER! She brags about how many guys she’s had and can get anyone she wants. Wait and see. You’re nothing but her latest fling; another notch on her bedpost. T.B.
Every time I miss you,
A star falls.
So if you ever look up at the sky
And the stars are gone
It’s because
I miss you too much!
Adapted from a thought written

Overall I’m doing well. My job is going good and all my family is healthy. I’m still single and not dating. Is that because I haven’t forgiven myself for hurting you, because you’re stuck in my heart or both? I wake thinking about you most days. G.D.
The first person who’s on your mind
the moment you open your eyes
after a night of sleep
is the reason either
for your happiness,
or pain.

A couple of your old t-shirts are still here. So are your sweatpants I like to wear. Your softball glove’s in the hall closet. There’s a picture of us still on my nightstand. So many things ’round this apartment remind me of us. It hurts, but it’s more painful to think of letting them go. V.S.
I saw an old friend today
He asked for you
He asked of us
I did not say
‘We are no more’
I answered ‘all is well.’
You are gone
Why can I not accept this?
Time will heal all, they say
But the loss is deep
Like our love once was,
you are irreplaceable
But I will replace you
I will love again
“Acceptance” by author unknown
There are no words to express how devastated I am to find out you’ve been unfaithful to me for years. I’m just a stupid gullible man who loved and trusted you. I was a fool! My shattered heart will never be the same again. The cracks you put there will always remain. R.B.
Visions of you still dance in my head
I remember all the things you said.
You said you’d never let me down
But there lies my heart on the ground.Broken in pieces I’m unable to fix;
I knew loving you would be a risk;
But I went ahead and took the chance
Thinking somehow we’d finish the dance.I hope you’ll be happy the rest of your life
Does he know he’s getting a cheating wife?

Sometimes I walk for hours contemplating life and thinking about all the time we spent together, the euphoria and the crashes; the joy and the heartbreak; falling in loving and then out. What’s done is done. The past can’t be changed… but I miss you like crazy. L.M.
I count the hours,
I count the days.
How much I miss you,
I count the ways.I miss your voice,
I miss your touch.
And I miss the face,
That I love so much.How to describe it,
There is no way.
I walk around,
In a permanent daze.I long to feel,
Your warm embrace.
And to see a smile,
Upon your face.From the poem “I Miss You” Author Unknown
You didn’t want to leave the town we grew up in and my ambition wouldn’t allow me to stay. My choice left you behind. It wasn’t a bad decision, just not the one I wish I had made. After all this time I have never been able to let you go completely. My heart is yours always. T.C.
Never say I love you if you don’t really care.
Never talk about feelings if they aren’t really there.
Never hold my hand if you are going to break my heart.
Never say you are going to if you don’t plan to start.
Never look into my eyes if all you do is lie.
Never say hello if you really mean good-bye.
If you really mean forever then say that you will try
Never say forever cause forever makes me cry.

I don’t believe in fairy tales any more, but do believe in horror stories. I thought you were my knight in shining armor, but instead found you out to be my darkest nightmare. You’re an immoral, deceitful and corrupt thief! Loving you has turned me into a tragic fool. W.A.
You didn’t love her.
You just didn’t want to be alone.
Or maybe, maybe she was
just too good for your ego.
Or, or maybe she made you feel better
about your miserable life,
but you didn’t love her,
you don’t destroy people you love.
