Goodbye wrapped in shiny paper, just for you.

"And when she finally forgets you, don't you dare remember her."

"I feel like a jig-saw puzzle missing a piece and I'm not even sure what the picture should be."

"Things are good with me, and even when they're not, they will be soon."

"Even if you think the flame has died, there's at least one lyric that'll hit that last hot spot, and then you'll find yourself as fucked as you were the day you lied and said you were moving on."

"I wanted to take my love back from him so badly. The old techniques didn’t work anymore. In fact, they’d never worked. How do you stop loving someone? It was one of the world’s more brutal mysteries. The more you tried, the less it worked."

"Your destiny is not tied to the people who walked away."

"Maybe crying is a means of cleaning yourself out emotionally. Or maybe it’s your communication of last resort; the only way to express yourself when words fail the same as when you were a baby and had no words."

"No love is bigger than the one which is given away - torn apart - and yet still, it remains."

"I might be stumbling a little on my way out, but I'm walking away... I'm moving on."

"I know exactly how that is. To love somebody who doesn't deserve it. Because they are all you have. "

"You gradually get over the pain. It doesn't go away, not for a long time, but it becomes easier to live with. One morning you wake up and he's not the first thing on your mind. And then a few months down the line you realize you've made it through half the day without thinking of him. Sometimes it takes months, sometimes, years, but eventually you reach a point when you only think about them occasionally. You manage to do this because you don't see them, you don't hear about them, you try not to think about them. And then you bump into them walking down the street, or someone unexpected mentions their name . . . and the memories come flooding back."

"Perhaps the most difficult choices to make are the ones that deny us what our heart wants most, because as it's been said, without reason and without prudence, the heart wants what the heart wants, and more often than not, it will not be denied."

"Was I ever truly over him? At one time I was sure that the answer was yes. But if seeing him again- and merely touching his hand- could peel back so many layers of my heart, then did I ever stop loving him the way you're supposed to stop loving everyone but the one you're with?"

"In a perverse way, I was glad for the stitches, glad it would show, that there would be scars. What was the point in just being hurt on the inside?"

" It's better to leave it broken than hurt yourself trying to fix it"

"She's been hurt many times before this. You'd think it would be routine by now. You'd think she wouldn't let it get to her."

"All of us search for love, but some of us, after we've found it, wish we hadn't."

"Anxiety is love's greatest killer. It makes others feel as you might when a drowning man holds on to you. You want to save him, but you know he will strangle you with his panic."

"Let go when you're hurting too much, give up when love isn't enough, and move on when things are not like before. Surely there is someone out there
who will love you even more."

"He's holding back, cause he knows you're falling."

"Head over heart; I'm better off without you. Heart over head; I miss you."
