Letting you go was probably the hardest thing I have ever done, but also the most courageous. Just because I wanted you did not make you want me in the same way. Realizing that you could be happier with someone else was very hard, but the right thing. K.P.
Falling in love is easy,
letting that love go, is hard.
But your heart will always
have the right answer.
You just have to listen to it
and figure out what it’s telling you.
Marie Coulson
No matter how long the truth is left unspoken, it still remains true. We can’t be together now. You have your wife; I have a husband; we both have little ones. Oh, the children; the children. We love them so much and could never leave our kids while they are so small. E.L.
Love can come and go
receiving less than it deserves.
It’s all part of the game,
the same game that’s
driving me insane.
And I never felt so deep,
so deeply in love.
I can’t even speak
my eyes are welling up.
The thought of losing you
is killing me and I know
it’s killing you.
Quincy Mumford
I’ve done too much for you and the only logical next step is to stop; leave you; walk away. I can’t fix you. I’m drawing a line to separate desperation from determination. I’m determined to have a better life and feeling desperate over you will never allow it. I’m sorry but this is goodbye. C.B.
Sometimes you end up losing yourself
trying to hold onto someone
who doesn’t care about losing you.

You loved staying up all night and sleeping all day. I preferred going to bed early and rising with the sun. Complete opposites and for a time we were two halves of a whole. Then your behavior got darker as drugs took you over. I had to leave or perish emotionally. D.S.
I love you as certain dark things
are to be loved, in secret,
between the shadow and the soul.
From “100 Love Sonnets” by Pablo Neruda
Love’s either slowing growing or slowly dying. It’s always one or the other. Love never stands still. With one’s intellect not much can be done to sway it one way or the other. If we could start over, I would. But that’s not possible. How do I tell you I don’t love you anymore? A.W.
First best is falling in love.
Second best is being in love.
Least best is falling out of love.
But any of it is better
than never having been in love.
Maya Angelou
Like sudden lightening came your words “I want a divorce”. I knew we had problems, but though we’d work through them somehow. When I begged you to change your mind you said “NO” and walked away. I have hardly stopped crying since. How do I get through this? B.C.
All I can do
Is cry over you;
Crying over what I hoped could be,
Crying over what will never be.I’m blind to what’s in front of me,
Seeing nothing but what I want to see,
But that is not realistic;
That is just my imagination.I cry over the change that is happening just too fast;
Crying over the footsteps left in the sand,
Watching them disappear after every wave rushing upward,
Knowing they won’t reappear.No matter how much I wish they would
Nothing will make this better,
Not unless I stop crying over you,
Not until I give up on you.

You swept me off my feet as I’d never known before. Wonderful. Beautiful. Intense. After a few months the love that came so quickly departed even more rapidly. Then came the time of pretending until neither of us could fool the other; the time of the slow letting go. D.G.
Delusion detests focus
and romance provides the veil.
Suzanne Finnamore
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.

My mind says “forget you”, but my heart says “I can’t”. My soul says “run away fast” but my ego says “I can’t live without you”. There is a war of feelings pulling me apart as I am violently torn between ‘what I know I should do’ and ‘what I want to do’. I feel doomed. C.C.
Love is the hardest habit to break,
and the most difficult to satisfy.
Drew Barrymore
I’ll never understand why we can’t stay together, but can’t stay apart either. We’re like two benign substances when combined combust or explode. I love you. You love me. I wish that was enough, but it isn’t. It breaks my heart to say it, but I don’t want to can’t live this way. E.L.
Frustrated because I can’t tell if it’s real.
Mad because I don’t know how you feel.
Upset because we can’t make it right.
Sad because I need you day and night.
Angry because you won’t take my hand.
Aggravated because you don’t understand.
Disappointed because we can’t be together,
but still I’ll love you forever.
