Would letting sleeping dogs lie have been best? It’s too late to wonder. The dogs of love are barking and only time will tell who gets hurt. It’s unavoidable someone will. A mirror reflects to me the most likely, but I won’t accept it unless reality leaves no other choice. S.B.
I hate to see the one I love
happy with somebody
but I surely hate it more
to see the one I love
unhappy with me…

Sometimes I want to throw open the gates holding back my feelings and let them come rushing out like water through a dam break. But I can’t because you belong to another. Instead, I’ll keep hope strong and bide my time till you’re in my arms again. D.W.
It’s hard to wait around for something
that you know might never happen ,
but it’s even harder to give up,
when you know it’s everything you want.

My friend said, “you really love her, don’t you?” An answer echoed in my heart before the words “very much” fell from my lips. My friend responded “she’ll probably break your heart into a thousand pieces”. I said “I know, but I’m willing to take the chance she won’t”. L.A.
No matter how many times
I tell you she’ll break you heart,
or how many times she does it,
you’ll never give up.
Why you ask?
Because you love her.

The saying “you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone” is tired, over-used and absolutely true. I’ve lived half a life time since I lay in bed with you and held you close with tears in my eyes from the sheer joy of my overwhelming love for you. I still feel it; always will. A.G.
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.

You were ready. I wasn’t. I’m here. You’re there. But that changes nothing about the treasure I bear inside; the ability to love without want or desire tainting the purity of my feelings. I am proud of my grownup emotions that allow me to love freely from a great distance. N.C.
But I know this.
We’re ready to move
forward again in our way.
Together or apart,
no matter how far apart, we
live in one another.
We go on together.
Ann Brashares
You’ve been in my heart for so many years, never knowing where you were or even if you were still alive. I thought you ceased loving me long ago. Now to know you never lost what you felt for me renews the pain of losing you, but the joy I feel is so much stronger. M.E.
When it rains it reminds me of you.
Although 2000 miles away is so far away,
I still always walk outside in the rain
and kiss it just for you. It never fails me.
The rain will always come
and I’ll always love you.
The next time you see a storm on the horizon,
don’t worry, it’s just heaven doing me the favor
of taking you my kiss. Walk outside
and kiss the rain whenever you need me.

I was married, but madly in love with you. I never had the courage to leave so we could be together. Our paths have crossed again years later. There is still strong love between us, but today you’re the one married and I’m single. Is that my retribution for long ago? C.B.
Those who really love you
don’t mean to hurt you
and if they do,
you can’t see it in their eyes
but it hurts them too.
Holly Black
My ability to pretend has gotten really good. I make believe that you will come back to me. I tell friends I really never cared about you. On the outside I pretend everything is just fine and I’m happy, but I love you and am dying inside. Without you every day is hell. B.R.
Behind my smile is a hurting heart
Behind my laughs I’m falling apart
Look at me closely and you will see
The girl I am just isn’t me.

There’s no doubt my actions were wrong. I hurt you beyond forgiveness, but beg you to take me back. Try to put what I did behind us. Give me time and I will make it up to you. I’ll prove myself and spend my life earning your love and showing you I am worthy of it. K.W.
Listen to my heart,
can you hear it sing:
Come back to me
and forgive everything.
From the movie “Moulin Rouge
There is regret in my soul that it took so long, but I forgive you. If there is still love in your heart for me, say so. It does not matter whether we are together or not. It does not matter if I ever see you again. Above everything what does matter is if you still love me. B.C.
What I have evidence of
in every letter, in every word….
Write no new letters,
speak no new words,
look no new looks;
only tell me,
years hence
that the present is alive,
that what was once, still is
and I am … blessed as ever.
Robert Browning To Elizabeth Barrett March 11, 1846
