"Love is always a good thing no matter how much it hurts. Even after it's over, even through the pain, anyone who has ever really loved will tell you that they never regretted a second of it, no matter how much it hurt in the end. And if you tell me differently, I will tell you that you were not truly in love." ~April Nizlek "I never thought it could be so hard to lose something I never really had!" ~Unknown "I loved you, it's not that I fell out of love because that is impossible. I just couldn't handle the heartache anymore. It's not that I don't love you - it's that I can't." ~Unknown "In a perfect world, when he's with her, he would be wishing he was with me; when he looked at her, he would be looking at me; when he smiled at her, his smile would be for me; when he thought about someone, he would be thinking about me. In a perfect world, he would realize that she wasn't the one he was supposed to be with and I would still be standing here waiting for him still when he finally knows this. But this isn't a perfect world and people do get hurt, you smile when you feel like crying, you act like you're okay when you're falling apart inside and you let it go. You move on, because there's nothing else you can do." ~Unknown "Promise me you won't ever forget us, and everything we tried to be. Don't forget the laughter and the nights when we both just needed to be held. Don't forget how you felt when you said you loved me, and don't forget the looking into my eyes because I knew you meant it. Don't forget that I'll always love you, even if I don't need you the way that I used to. If I thought that you would ever forget it all... I would never leave." ~Unknown "I don't regret anything I did, because if things had happened differently then I wouldn't have met you, I wouldn't have fallen in love with you, and I wouldn't have gotten over you." ~Unknown "So I'm sorry that I can't go on with you. And tonight may be a night I'll regret, but I'm already somebody's lover. He just hasn't found me yet." ~Unknown "We look at each other differently, the spark is fading fast. It hurts to be without you, yet I just put on a smile and keep walking." ~Unknown "I'm trying to get over you, but please tell me another way, because this one isn't working." ~Unknown "I'm failing to want to notice that I'm gonna be okay without you." ~Unknown "You don't know how hard it is to get over you when every time I see you my heart begins to smile." ~Unknown "You made me cry, you told me lies, but I can't stand to say good-bye." ~Unknown "The most ironic thing of all is that I think this will be the most difficult break up I will ever go through, and we never even went out." ~Unknown "And so now I've finally gotten the courage to give up and let go of you. And no, I haven't moved on to another guy; I've just moved on." ~Unknown "You have to understand that we can't be. You've hurt me too much, but I will never hold any bitterness toward you. You were a special part of my life." ~Unknown "Take back that sad word good-bye. Bring back the joy to my life. Don't leave me here with these tears come and kiss this pain away. I can't forget the day you left, time is so unkind. And life is so cruel without you here beside me." ~Toni Braxton "My life is about change. I change every day. I change my mind, and sometimes even my heart. But the one thing that will never change is the way I feel for you." ~Unknown "I'll walk away from you now, and I'll never look back. You'll pretend to be sad, so maybe I'll come back, but when I don't, you'll live. You won't hurt, you won't cry, so don't try to make me think I'm affecting your life at all." ~Michelle Burns "I've never had feelings this strong for someone in my whole life, and probably never will. And the fact that I just have to walk away from it hurts me more than you will ever know." ~Unknown "I told you I'd never say good-bye, now I'm slipping on the tears you made me cry. Why does it come as a surprise? To think I was so naive. Maybe it didn't mean so much to you, but it meant everything to me." ~Nine Inch Nails "Somehow, the conversation mentioned your name, and someone asked if I knew you. Looking away, I thought of all the times we had together, sharing laughter, tears, jokes, and tons more, and then with out an explanation you were gone. I looked to where they were waiting for an answer, and then said softly 'once... I thought I did.'" ~Unknown "As I watched you walk away, I watched every dream I had never dreamed, I saw every wish that was yet to come true, I felt every ounce of love in my heart, I knew it all when I saw you walk away... but I know you knew it too, because you took all of me with you." ~Unknown "You are my everything... the reason I wake up in the morning. Just the thought of you brings a smile to my face that can last for days. The sound of your voice brings chills throughout my body. You make me the happiest that I have ever been. And to you I am only a friend." ~Unknown "Watching you walk out of my life does not make me bitter or cynical about love, but rather makes me realize that if I wanted so much to be with the wrong person, how beautiful it will be when the right one comes along." ~Unknown "You wanna know why you can't be serious with me? Because being serious with me would be admitting to yourself, me and everyone else that you can really like me more than a friend." ~Allison Mosher "How can you simply be friends with someone when every time you look at them, you're thinking about how much more you really want?" ~Dawson's Creek "It's not that I don't know, it's just that you wouldn't understand if I told you." ~Unknown "When we lose one we love, our bitterest tears are called forth by the memory of hours when we loved not enough." ~Maurice Maeterlinck "She puts you through hell, yet you always run back to her. When will you realize she's not the one for you?" ~Unknown "I love you, okay? Is that so bad? I love you and she doesn't- she never did. Yet, you love her and not me. What's wrong with this picture?" ~Melissa Rokyta "I can't understand how you can throw what we had away. You said it meant something to you, but I guess I always was a little naive." ~Melissa Rokyta "Jealousy is a funny thing. I never considered myself a jealous person but you're bringing out traits in myself I never knew. The way she has you -that makes me jealous. The way you hug her -that makes me jealous. The way you love and kiss her -that makes me jealous." ~Unknown "Sometimes I wake up crying at night and sometimes I scream out your name. What right does she have to steal your heart away when for so long you were mine? I remember when you were mine." ~Unknown "You know that we have something special. I saw it in your eyes last night when I told you how much you had hurt me. I saw all our memories flash through your mind. I saw how much it hurt you to know you hurt me. I saw how much you love me; you didn't need to say a word." ~Melissa Rokyta "I'd much rather be your lover than your friend, but I'd much rather be your friend than your nobody." ~Unknown "Sometimes the tears just flow so endlessly from my eyes, and you are the only one who could stop them." ~Ines Lopes "Why is that sometimes when I see you, it makes my whole day better, but other times when I see you it brings tears to my eyes?" ~Ines Lopes "Maybe I was just a stepping stone for you to get to that point in your life where you'd figure out what you wanted, or didn't want.

But you are already taken. You are taken by the person that will always have your heart, and inside that tears me apart." ~Unknown "I am always trying to make you happy, but why does it hurt so much when someone else does?" ~Unknown "I know as long as you are happy I can get through this, but it still kills me to see you with her. Not because she is perfect for you, not because she makes you smile, not because she is what you need, but because I know that she deserves you more than I do, and that pain is indescribable." ~Kate Russell "I don't understand how you can be so heartless, considering that you have mine." ~Unknown "It hurts to know that you don't love me and you never did, but it hurts even more knowing that I have to be the one to stop coming back. I can't be around you if all it does is cause me pain, and I know you don't have that pain, which makes mine even worse." ~Unknown "You're in love. That's the way it should be, because I want you to be happy. You're in love and I know that you're not in love with me." ~Wilson Philips "Finally, I see that my happiness doesn't mean having you. My happiness comes from your happiness. And if you can be happy without me, then I can be happy without you." ~Unknown "There's no way to explain, but all the pleasure is worth all the pain." ~LeAnn Rimes "The roads of life are strewn with the wreckage of run-down, half-finished loves." ~Ralph W. Sockman "Never's just the echo of forever, lonesome as a love that might have been. Let me go on lovin' and believin' 'til it's over.

Would you say lies that I wanted to hear if I told you tonight that I need you? Would you break my heart? Would you start wearing me down again?" ~Unknown "If I told you tonight I was leaving, would you call my name, take the blame, turn it all around again cause you know I love you and it's worth the heart ache?" ~Unknown "I sometimes wish I could be like you, being able to get so close to people who you really have no intention of being close to. Letting people get so close to you, only to push them away. But then I remember I could never be like you, I have a heart." ~Unknown "He sticks in your head, like no one you could ever imagine. It's hard to get over him when everything reminds you of him ... everything." ~Unknown "If I were you I'd promise to live life for all it's worth, take all you've been given and leave your mark upon this Earth.

I'll find another love, but there will never be another you." ~Unknown "If time ever told me that I could only have one last thing to say to you, one final plea to try and make you understand how it is I feel, it wouldn't be I love you. It wouldn't be that this was all pre-destined. And it wouldn't be that one day you'll regret this decision. Although it would be heart wrenching, I would look into your eyes and say that to love is to find freedom in its truest sense. And I would only hope one day you are able to let yourself be enveloped by the full intensity of that emotion. Those would be my final words of good-bye to you. It is only then that hope will have finally faded away and courage would help me go on.

I can't make your heart feel something if it won't. Here in the dark, in these final hours, I will lay down my heart and I feel the power...But you won't. I close my eye's so I can't see the love you don't feel when you're holding me. Morning will come, and I'll do what's right. Just give me until then to give up this fight. And I will give up this fight. Cause I can't make you love me if you don't..." ~Bonnie Raitt "Maybe it was wrong, but upon my life I will never regret loving him." ~Unknown "When you love a person, you are giving him the power to hurt you." ~Unknown "Love the most beautiful thing in the world but also the most painful." ~Leticia Escandon "You have been the treasure in my hand. You have been the one who always stood beside me. So unaware, I foolishly believed that you would always be there. But there will come a day, when I will turn my head and you will slip away." ~Unknown "You wondered how you'd make it through. I wondered what was wrong with you. Because how could you give your love to someone else, yet share your dreams with me? Sometimes the very thing you're looking for, is the one thing you can't see." ~Vanessa Williams "It hasn't sunk in yet. I haven't totally realized that he's pushed me out of his heart forever, but I'm not sure I want it to hit me fully yet because I know that when it does, I will feel pain like nothing I have ever felt before." ~Unknown "I didn't realize how much I loved him until he was standing there and he wasn't mine any more." ~Laura Esparza "A person can never get over a broken heart if they aren't willing to let go of all the pieces." ~Unknown "I never knew what love was until I met you. I never saw anything as amazing until I saw you. I never wanted anything more until I wanted you.

What do I say to someone who has hurt me, confused me, and broken me beyond measure, but whom I still love more than words can express." ~Unknown "I can't talk to you anymore. It's not that I'm mad at you, it's just that whenever I talk to you, I realize how much I love you. And when I realize how much I love you, I also realize that we can never be together. Which just makes me love you more." ~Unknown "You know what- it's not my fault. I used to think it was- that maybe there was something I could have done. But it's not me, it's him. He's the one that just doesn't see what he's doing- what he's losing." ~Melissa Rokyta "I saw the heartache coming. At least this time I wasn't oblivious to everything. I must be getting better at this....which is really sad." ~Melissa Rokyta "I have always loved him, and I miss him so much. And I'm not sure how he feels about me and that hurts me more then knowing he doesn't love me too." ~Unknown "Does it hurt you to know that we haven't spoken to each other in days? Does it hurt you to know that we can't look at each other without looking away? Does it hurt you to know that everything we had as friends is gone? Does it hurt? Cause it's hurting me." ~Unknown "And he grabbed my hand and half of me wanted to scream not to touch me and half wanted to beg of him not to let go." ~Unknown "My world crumbles, everything falls around me and I stand alone, I cry alone, I search alone for something I can never find. But this still doesn't compare to what it felt like to lose you." ~Unknown "You asked me if I ever regretted going out with him, and I wanted to scream out 'yes'. But I couldn't, because I didn't; I just regretted ever falling in love with him." ~Unknown "It's hard to make your head stop loving somebody when your heart still does." ~Unknown "They say you can't chase love; you have to let love come to you, but what if he is doing the same- letting my love come to him and from us both waiting won't it just end up passing us by?" ~Unknown "Love is often like a dream. It's all good for a while, but sometimes it begins to fade away. And you usually can't ever find it again." ~Unknown "I love you for letting me feel what it's like to have everything, but I hate you for letting me feel what it's like to lose everything!" ~Unknown "You're just the memory of a love that used to mean so much to me." ~Rolling Stones "Love is not without you." ~Jewel "Love means to love that which is unlovable; or it is no virtue." ~G.K. Chesterton "If you really, truly love someone, you can't stay mad at them forever.

Why you ask? Because I love him." ~Unknown "There's just something about him that grabs my heart and makes me hurt because I can't have him." ~Unknown "How come whenever I think I'm over you, you come talk to me and make me feel like the most loved person in the world?" ~Unknown "If you only have one true love, what do you do when your one true love doesn't feel the same way about you?" ~Unknown "Please know that the smile on my face when you are holding her is just as fake as the 'I love you's you said to me when I was yours." ~Unknown "Why does it hurt so much to be happy for you?" ~Unknown "You gotta be fair to her.

Real love makes you totally open and vulnerable, and often miserable. Real love will take you far behind yourself, and therefore real love will devastate you. If love doesn't shatter you, you don't know real love." ~Unknown "I die inside a little more each time you replace me." ~Unknown "There are two things I wanted to believe in, but didn't dare. One, that there is a man out there for me, and two, that I just might deserve him." ~Unknown "It takes a lot to hate you, it takes too much to forget you, but it took so little to love you." ~Unknown "The most terrible poverty is loneliness and the feeling of being unloved." ~Mother Teresa "The mind has a thousand eyes and the heart but one; Yet, a whole life dies when love is done." ~Francis William Bourdillon "Even the most boundless love can end." ~Gone With The Wind "I believed you when you said you loved me because we were closer than friends, but you said you'd love me for forever and forever never ends." ~Unknown "It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return, but what is the most painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let the person know how you feel." ~Unknown "Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we should know how to be grateful for that gift." ~Unknown "If I never met you, I wouldn't like you. If I never liked you, I wouldn't love you. If I never loved you, I wouldn't miss you. But, I did, I do, and I will." ~Unknown "I'm sorry if I made you cry, I'm sorry if tears fell from your eyes, for that is not at all what I intended to do...but, just remember, for every tear that falls from your eye, from mine fall two." ~Unknown "When I see you smile and know that it's not for me, that's when I miss you most." ~Unknown "Remember, just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, it doesn't mean they don't love you with everything they've got." ~Unknown "I'll miss you till you're mine." ~Unknown "You know you love someone when you want them to be happy. Even when their happiness means that you aren't a part of it." ~Unknown "If you look back on a relationship, and there were more smiles than tears, then it was not a waste of time." ~Unknown "Love is acceptance.

We choose partners and change partners. We dance to a song of heartbreak and hope all the while wondering if somewhere and somehow there is someone searching for us." ~The Wonder Years "Everyday I wish I had you, but I thank God that at least you're my friend." ~Unknown "You don't know how much you care for someone until they don't care about you." ~Unknown "You can't hurt someone unless you really mean something to them." ~Unknown "Love starts with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a tear." ~Unknown "I'm not a child anymore.

But you, being the great guy that you are, you are always there for me. And when you ask if I still like you, I want to say yes, because deep in my heart I do. But I can't tell you that. And so I said no and your life went on as mine seemed to stop." ~Unknown "I love you! I have no problem saying it. I just wish I could say it to you." ~Unknown "I could have gotten over you, but then you had to tell me that you loved me." ~Unknown "The worst feeling in the world is to love and hate a person all in the same second." ~Unknown "If I just simply loved you then I would know what to do, but then you had to go and lie to me.

The funny thing is that when I finally got the chance, I didn't have a word to say." ~Unknown "Our relationship was like this beautiful thing, and I don't think that you understood the power of it." ~Unknown "It's just not fair! How can you be the one that I cry about at night, but also be the first one I think of in the morning and smile?" ~Unknown "It's not because I ever loved him or because he loved me. It's because it was my first romance, my first imagination of love." ~Unknown "Sometimes I want someone to just hold me when I need it. Not a hug, but just hold me, you know?

I must be walking in circles." ~Unknown "I didn't mean to fall in love with you, but I did, and you can't change that as long as you are still you." ~Unknown "I want to be the one you're waiting for, not the one waiting for you." ~Unknown "The only people who can hurt you are the ones you love, because if it wasn't love you wouldn't care." ~Unknown "You are the world to me. Maybe one day you'll see me the way I see you." ~Unknown
