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.

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.

I tell myself you’re not allowed to hurt me anymore. But when I do it just hurts more. Letting you go and ending the love in my heart for you is the hardest thing I’ve ever attempted. So far I’m failing at forgetting and succeeding only at loving you through time and distance. L.D.
Pain, pain go away!
Please do not come back another day.
Tears falling down my face
oh how I wish for his warm embrace.
How can he stand there and break my heart
How did we allow us to grow so far apart?
My dream of us being happy is not going to come true
all I am feeling is down and blue.
Pain, pain go away
bring me back to another day
where he loved me and
we thought we were meant to be.
Taken from “Pain, Pain Go Away” by Kari Johnston
Over something silly I got angry and yelled at you again saying I wanted never to see you again. You said you’d had enough of my anger issues and were done with me. I thought you’d get over it, but you never did. You’re gone and I don’t know where to find you. H.A.
The fact that I can’t have you,
makes me want you even more.

Thinking I would be safe if I lived alone and did not fall in love again was flawed thinking. Over time my sadness grew and life became colorless with little taste. Now I know mourning a broken heart is better than having a heart that is dead. Finally I am facing losing you. A.E.
The person who tries to live alone
will not succeed as a human being.
His heart withers
if it does not answer another heart.
His mind shrinks away if he hears
only the echoes of his own thoughts
and finds no other inspiration.
Pearl S. Buck
You pushed me away over five years ago. Our divorce was done twelve months later. You remarried two years later. I know we are OVER, but I still love you and dream about you often. Will my heart always be so crowded with you leaving no room for anyone else? R.Y.
I see you in my dreams, and awake with delight,
first thing in the morning, all through the night.
My heart can’t let go, even though I have tried,
I feel a part of me has been lost and died.
…I wish you happiness and I wish you so much love,
and I hope you find what you deserve, as it’s you I’m thinking of.
I won’t be selfish and to you my heart does send, this
message to the one I love and will love until the end.
From “My Heart Can’t Let Go” by Penny 02-06-07
I can go days without talking to you, months without seeing you, but not a second goes by that I don’t think about you. My beautiful butterfly, what we shared was short in time, but long in memory. Where ever you are, I cast my love to the wind in hopes it can find you. A.P.
Love reckons hours for months, and days for years;
and every little absence is an age.
John Dryden
Love has found me several times. Each meeting then parting took away a piece of me. After losing you I don’t think there is enough of me left to ever love again. So I am just going to go on loving you even though you are not here. My heart is too tired to do anything else. C.B.
As you get older, the heart shed its leaves like a tree.
You cannot hold out against certain winds.
Each day tears away a few more leaves;
and then there are the storms
that break off several branches at one go.
And while nature’s greenery
grows back again in the spring,
that of the heart never grows back.
Gustave Flaubert
In our early years together you were magic to me. However, as the mystery unfolded to become the known I took you for granted and wandered off to find someone better. Too late I’ve learned you are the love of my life and now you won’t even speak to me. I’m a fool. A.B.
Love is easy to know,
easier to let slip away
and easiest to grieve for.
It is hard learned wisdom to realize
if I had spent as much energy on loving
as I have searching and yearning for love,
my heart would constantly run over with affection.
James Browning
For hours, even days, I don’t think about you. But when my feelings bubble up I become temporarily lost in thinking of much I loved you then and still do now. Wishing to forget and fighting to hold on to every memory is slowly driving me crazy; a bitter-sweet insanity. L.S.
I have flown and fallen,
and I have swum deep and drowned,
but there should be more to love
than “I survived it”.
