Sad Love 71....

I could follow you to the beginning, just to relive the start & maybe then we'll remember to slow down at all of our favorite parts. -Paramore

It's not what I feel about you, it's what I can't feel for anyone else no matter how hard I try.

The worst is when someone in your past trumps the person in your present, and you think to yourself: if I'd known this, then maybe I wouldn't have let him go. -Emily Giffin

We're all in prison. I built mine myself, but that doesn't make it any easier to get out.

I guess by now I should know enough about loss to realize that you never really stop missing someone—you just learn to live around the huge gaping hole of their absence. -Alyson Noel, Evermore

I've moved on, yes, but that doesn't mean that I've forgotten. And that doesn't mean that I won't be here anymore if you ever want to come back. -Sarah Logan

Only time will determine when and how you’re going to move on. Sure, it might not be right away like you want it to be, but eventually one day you’ll wake up and realize that somewhere along the way, that piercing feeling you’ve been feeling inside your chest faded and went away while you were too busy living life to notice.

It was easy and safe. Not feeling anything is an attractive option when what you feel sucks. -Once Upon a Time

Crying is all right in its own way while it lasts. But you have to stop sooner or later, and then you still have to decide what to do. -C.S. Lewis

After he left, I cried for a week. And then I realized I do have faith…faith in myself. Faith that I would someday meet someone who would be sure that I was the one. -Sex & The City

Imagine him as a cruel villain with a cape and a mustache and a grand, unsettling laugh. But he is not that at all. He is, in most ways, a very good and caring person who I miss very much. Smart and charming and all of that. Even now, on the very rare occasion that one of us sends the other a two-sentence email, it almost feels okay. But mostly it feels like two people who used to know one another. --Alison, Hi.: The art of getting really dumped

That was the kind of hurt that could only be inflicted by someone you loved, who you thought loved you. It was sort of like being stabbed from the inside out. -Kami Garcia

The memory of being unhappy has the power to hurt us long after the fact. We feel the injury anew each and every time we think of it. -Cameron Dokey

Isn’t it funny how the memories you cherish before a breakup can become your worst enemies afterwards? The thoughts you loved to think about, the memories you wanted to hold up to the light and view from every angle—it suddenly seems a lot safer to lock them in a box, far from the light of day and throw away the key. It’s not an act of bitterness. It’s an act of self-preservation. -Ally Condie, First Day
