You only missed my voice when nobody else called you.
- UnknownWhen a relationship is over, leave. Don’t continue watering a dead flower.
- UnknownYou couldn’t make yourself stop feeling a certain way, no matter what the other person did. You had to just wait. Eventually the feeling went away because others came along. Or sometimes it didn’t go away but got squeezed into something tiny, and hung like a piece of tinsel in the back of your mind.
- Elizabeth StroutIt hurts until it doesn’t. You think it’s going to break you, but it won’t. You may not sleep as well at night, but you will be fine. Numb, but numb and fine are the same.
- ScandalAnd then it hit me like a bag of bricks. You hurt me like no other. You destroyed me. And no matter what you say or do from this point on, it will never be enough.
- UnknownYou wrecked me and I apologized. Never again.
- UnknownYou had me at a point where I would’ve left the entire world behind for you.
- UnknownI will never look at you in the same way ever again. I'll never be that girl again. The girl who comes running back every time you push her away, the girl who loves you anyway.
- Jenny Han, It's Not Summer Without YouI love you— I do— but I am afraid of making that love too important. Because you’re always going to leave me. We can’t deny it. You’re always going to leave.
- David LevithanWe are all broken. Just at different stages of repair.
- UnknownI never want to love someone like that, so much that there would be no room left for myself, so much that I wouldn’t be able to survive if he left me.
- Jean Kwok, Girl in TranslationThere’s really no shortcut to forgetting someone. You just have to endure missing them everyday until you don’t anymore.
- UnknownSometimes what holds you together and what tears you apart are the same things.
- UnknownTrying to forget really doesn’t work. In fact, it’s pretty much the same as remembering. But I tried to forget anyway, and to ignore the fact that I was remembering you all the time.
- Rebecca SteadThe loneliest moment in someone’s life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly.
- F. Scott FitzgeraldThe truth is, sometimes too much can happen in a relationship, and then there’s nothing anyone can do or say. It’s broken.
- Gabrielle Zevin, In The Age of Love and ChocoI hope you find someone you can’t live without. I really do. And I hope you never have to know what it’s like to have to try and live without them.
- Kiera Cass, The SelectionIt was such a weird thing how a breakup stretched much wider than you expected. You didn’t just lose a person, but their entire world as well.
- Sarah DessenTo love someone so deeply means also that it will hurt a thousand times more when he disappoints or leaves you.
- J.A. Redmerski
And I’m over it,
I’m over it,
I promise I’m over it.
But it still hurts sometimes.
If it was meant to last, it would have.
- Orange is the New BlackYou are not a terrible person for wanting to break up with someone you love. You don't need a reason to leave. Wanting to leave is enough. Leaving doesn't mean you're incapable of real love or that you'll never love anyone else again. It means you wish to change the terms of one particular relationship. That's all. Be brave enough to break your own heart.
- Cheryl StrayedIt was simply a chapter in my life that had closed, and the ending seemed appropriate. We can’t appreciate or understand the endings of things when they’re happening, of course, but with a little distance they usually parse themselves out. We were right to go our separate ways, and I know we’re both better for it—even if we can’t pinpoint exactly why.
- Chelsea FaganInside I knew he was meant to be the guy that taught me about life. Even if he broke my heart eventually.
- Abbi GlinesI wish I didn’t love you so much. No I don’t though; that’s not true. I am glad I do. I don’t know what to say to you except that it tore the heart out of my body saying goodbye to you.
- Vita Sackville-West
