“I’ve had enough hurt already in my life. More than enough. Now I want to be happy.”

“Is it still considered a heartache when in fact, it’s your entire body and soul that feel broken?”

“For you, I was a chapter. For me, you were the book.”

You can hope that someone will wander back every second, minute, hour, day

“I shared my so many firsts with you that I wasn’t prepared for our last.”

“Once someone has let you go emotionally, it’s over, no matter how tightly or desperately you commit to hang on. Better to release yourself from the relationship with your dignity intact, than fight a losing battle and risk lasting damage to your heart.”

“I feel myself shutting down, closing off, like I should tell people, ‘No, we don’t use this heart anymore. It’s too fragile.”

“Ancient Egyptians had fifty words for sand & the Eskimos had a hundred words for snow. I wish I had a thousand words for love, but all that comes to mind is the way you move against me while you sleep & there are no words for that.”

“I loved you so much once. I did. More than anything in the whole wide world. Imagine that. What a laugh that is now. We were so intimate once upon a time I can’t believe it now. I think that’s the strangest thing of all now. The memory of being that intimate with somebody. We were so intimate I could puke. I can’t imagine ever being that intimate with somebody else. I haven’t been.”

“I won’t glorify or romanticize heartbreak, for me it was a kind of death and I was forced to keep living.”

“I think perhaps love comes from finding someone you feel utterly comfortable with, someone who makes you comfortable with yourself. It’s like…finding yourself, or maybe it’s like finding the other part of yourself.”

“I’m fighting myself. I know I am. One minute I want to remember. The next minute I want to live in the land of forgetting. One minute I want to feel. The next minute I never want to feel ever again.”
