Usually missing you is only a dull ache in the back of my sub-conscious. But sometimes all the memories wake up and take me down for a day or two. I get through those times by remembering happy moments and feeling gratitude that you once loved me. M.P.
All the lonely nights
and all the crushing scenes
and all the pointless fights.
Someone tell me what it means.
Someone tell me why hearts break.
I’m giving up on happy endings.

You’ll find me in the desert of the broken-hearted. There is little to live for here. The days pass slowly and the weeks run together into one long torture. My feelings for you are melting me into nothing. I love you so much, but your love for me has vanished into the sun. V.M.
I miss the way it used to be,
Back when it was,
You and me.
I miss the way you held me tight,
I miss the way you’d call every night.
I miss the way you looked at me,
I miss everything we used to be.
I miss your touch,
I miss it so much.
I miss us so bad it hurts,
I miss it all.

Do you know what it is like to kill love? I do. After you broke my heart I prayed over and over to stop loving you and asked to die in the process. Eventually came freedom from the torment of you. I am still alive and my heart has finally dried out from the grief you left me in.
I thought when love for you died,
I should die.
It’s dead.
Alone, most strangely, I live on.
Rupert Brooke
A once new, now old chapter has closed in my book of love. Another has come and gone leaving my heart more dry than before. There remains fertile ground there, but it becomes more scarce with each who professes love and then forsakes me. E.H.
Love is the One who masters all things;
I am mastered totally by Love.
I am ground sweet as sugar.
O furious Wind, I am only a straw before you;
How could I know where I will be blown next?
What is any of us but a straw in a storm?
How could anyone make a pact with a hurricane?
In the hand of Love I am like a cat in a sack;
Sometimes Love hoists me into the air,
Sometimes Love flings me into the air,
Love swings me round and round His head;
I have no peace, in this world or any other.
The lovers of God have fallen in a furious river;
They have surrendered themselves to Love’s commands.
Like mill wheels they turn, day and night, day and night,
Constantly turning and turning, and crying out.
From “LOVE IS THE MASTER” by Rumi
Never will I regret our extraordinary romance. There were reasons we met, reasons for the good times and reasons for the bad times, and most importantly a reason to end. We have more to learn, more to experience and more loving to do in this lifetime. T.T.
Hold up… hold on…
don’t be scared;
You’ll never change
what’s been and gone.
May your smile…
Shine on…
Don’t be scared
Your destiny may keep you warm.

You were the latest in a long line of “wrong people” I got involved with. I finally understand my problem. The consistent thread between all the abusive relationships I’ve been in is me! Realizing my ability to pick a good partner is messed up is the first step in fixing that. L.S.
Be the flame,
not the moth.
Giacomo Casanova
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.

You say you need space and time to figure things out. If you truly loved me there would be no questions; being together would be a “can’t not do”. The uncertainty shows you don’t love me enough to make a commitment. I accept that and am not waiting for you anymore. C.D.
If little by little you stop loving me
I shall stop loving you
Little by little
If suddenly you forget me
Do not look for me
For I shall already have forgotten you.
Pablo Neruda
You never called me beautiful. Not once. Not beautiful, not pretty, not cute, not smart, not interesting, not funny, not sweet, not nice, not awesome. And you know what? I am all those things. In time you will realize you have lost something wonderful; me. It will be too late. K.D.
The Young Man came to the Old Man seeking counsel.
“I broke something, Old Man”.
“How badly is it broken?”
“It’s in a million little pieces.”
“I’m afraid I can’t help you.”
“Why?”
“There’s nothing you can do.”
“Why?”
“It can’t be fixed.”
“Why?”
“It’s broken beyond repair. It’s in a million little pieces.”
James Frey
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.
