I think I’ll make it. No longer am I just bones and am gaining weight after barely eating for months. I’m exercising and hanging out with friends again. Once in a while I even remember something we shared and smile. Will I ever love again? Only time will tell. S.B.
Learn to appreciate the rainbow
after cursing the rain.
It’s just like loving again
after experiencing the pain.

Eventually I got past the grief of you leaving me behind. For the longest time I couldn’t image being with anyone else. Our ending ruined my belief that love conquers all. Now my heart knows what a fragile and delicate state of being loving and being loved back truly is. H.B.
If only you could see the tears
In the world you left behind.
If only you could heal my heart
Just one more time.
Even when I close my eyes
There is an image of your face.
And Once again I come to realize
You are a loss I can’t replace.
From the song
“Why Did You Leave Me”
by Westlife
You could have told me or at least called. A hand written note would have had some meaning. An email would shown a little respect and caring. But you sent a text message to break up with me! Twenty three words on my phone and nothing more. I deserve better! T.M.
I don’t know why
they call it heartbreak.
It feels like every other part
of my body is broken too.
Missy Altijd
How long does heartbreak last? I let the love of my life slip through my fingers. It’s been two years since I broke up you, the woman I loved dearly. I thought things might be better with my Ex., but I was so wrong. You’ve moved on and don’t trust or want me anymore. D.G.
Have you seen my smile
because the last time I wore it
was when I was with you.

You said we’d be together again; to give you a few months to get things together. Not even a week later you wouldn’t even speak to me. For weeks I tried again and again to talk to you, but you would never listen, so I finally had to say to my self goodbye to you forever. C.S.
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann’d:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.
“Goodbye” By Christina Rossetti
Calling at 2am to say I still love you was a mistake. Truly sorry I bothered you. I’d had a few drinks and my guard was down because our anniversary was earlier this week. It’s been months and neither of us has moved on. Is there a message in that for us? D.S.
You were my everything;
Now you’re gone.
I don’t have the strength
To carry on.
I loved you so much;
You were all I had;
Now my whole world
Is depressing and sad.
I’d like to start feeling
Other than blue,
But you were my everything,
What can I do?
Taken from “You Were My Everything” by Joanna Fuchs
Do you ever think of me? Or do you just pretend “we” never existed? Have you made up a lie to yourself about how you never loved me any way? You left me wondering what I did wrong; wondering how I can fix something that doesn’t exist any more. I’m lost in sadness! J.W.
Why do I keep on loving you
when it’s clear that you don’t feel
the same way for me?
The problem is that as much
as I can’t force you to love me,
I can’t force myself
to stop loving you.
