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
Once upon a time we shared something truly special. Through high school and college we were the magical couple everyone thought would be in love and together forever. Things changed and we broke each other’s heart. Even now I am not sure what happened. E.T.
My heart literally hurts,
My chest is in pain,
Life without you
Will never be the same.
I can’t blame you,
Because I did you wrong too.
But now that it’s officially over
I don’t know what to do.
I’ll never forget your smile;
I’ll never forget your kiss;
But your presence in my life
Will forever be missed.
“The One Who Got Away” by Kiera
I keep telling my self, of course, you’re going to get your heart-broken. That’s part of life, and it makes me stronger. One day someone will come along, and it’ll all pay off. Then no one will ever break my heart again; that is once I get over you and how you hurt me. A.F.
As soon as
forever is through,
I’ll be over you.
Lyrics by Toto
No longer do I know where you are. Your phone number changed. You’ve moved far away with no forwarding address. No one I ask is aware of where you ended up. I date others and go out with friends, but my heart is still yours. Wherever you are, I love you, always. S.S.
I think of you in Silence.
I often speak your name.
All I have left are memories
and a heart around your name.
My heart aches with sadness
and all my tears flow.
What it meant to lose you
no-one will ever know.

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
In the fireplace I burned all the cards, notes and keepsakes of us I could find. The few still scattered through my things are now each rediscovered as a greatly cherished treasure. All I have of our time are those scraps and a head full of memories that refuse to go away. J.R.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
J.R.R. Tolkien
I’ve recovered from a lot of pain before, but I can’t seem to get over you. Pretending I don’t love you hasn’t worked. Putting all physical memories of us in a box & leaving it at a friend’s house didn’t help. Most of me is still with you where ever you are. Please come back. E.B.
The sky without stars:
like sleep without dreams
like song without music
like rose without smell
like face without smile
like ME without YOU!

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
Keepsake boxes of various sizes and types hold sweet memories of when we were together. Cards, letters, notes, used tickets and little souvenirs of all kinds are cherished mementos of our ‘once upon a time’. Keeping it all allows me to still hold on to a little piece of you. D.W.
Now you’re
just somebody
I used to know.
Gotye
I had loved and been loved before knowing you, but with you only have I known the rare and profound romantic love that has been legendary for centuries. Down to the very core of my being I still feel you. Why I allowed myself to run you away I will never understand. C.B.
You will never know true happiness
until you have truly loved,
and you will never understand
what pain really is until you have lost it.
