seen, nor touched ... but are felt in the heart. (Helen Keller)
I'm tired of all this nonsense about beauty being only skin-
deep. That's deep enough. What do you want, an adorable
pancreas? (Jean Kerr)

increases. (Ancient Chinese proverb)

A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech
when words become superfluous. (Ingrid Bergman)

him wants him to kiss her--when, nine times out of ten, she
only wants him to want to kiss her? (Helen Rowland)

simply not giving the kiss the attention it deserves. (Albert
Einstein)

You must remember this, a kiss is just a kiss... (Herman
Hupfeld)
Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned
away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your
mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each
other underground, and when all the pretty blossoms had
fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree
and not two. - Captain Corelli's Mandolin.

Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls
you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the
stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake jus to
watch you sleep... wait for the boy who kisses your forehead,
who wants to show you off to the world when u r in sweats,
who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks youre
just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly
reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to
have YOU... The one who turns to his friends and says, thats
her...

but when your heart gets broken, it takes a while to get
everything back together. ~Author Unknown
12
Let your tears come. Let them water your soul. ~Eileen
Mayhew
It's so curious: one can resist tears and 'behave' very well in
the hardest hours of grief. But then someone makes you a
friendly sign behind a window, or one notices that a flower
that was in bud only yesterday has suddenly blossomed, or a
letter slips from a drawer... and everything collapses.
~Colette
God can heal a broken heart, but He has to have all the
pieces. ~Author Unknown
Have you ever been hurt and the place tries to heal a bit,

your arms too full to embrace the present. ~Jan Glidewell

you don't make a memorandum of it. ~Lewis Carroll,
Through the Looking Glass, 1872
The scars you can't see are the hardest to heal. ~Astrid
Alauda
Jealousy is simply and clearly the fear that you do not have
value. Jealousy scans for evidence to prove the point - that
15
others will be preferred and rewarded more than you. There
is only one alternative - self-value. If you cannot love
yourself, you will not believe that you are loved. You will
always think it's a mistake or luck. Take your eyes off others
and turn the scanner within. Find the seeds of your jealousy,
clear the old voices and experiences. Put all the energy into
building your personal and emotional security. Then you will
be the one others envy, and you can remember the pain and
reach out to them. ~Jennifer James
"Old times" never come back and I suppose it's just as well.
What comes back is a new morning every day in the year,
and that's better. ~George E. Woodberry
16
Ask me why I keep on loving you when it's clear that you
don't feel the same way for me... the problem is that as
much as I can't force you to love me, I can't force myself to
stop loving you. ~Author Unknown
I never knew until that moment how bad it could hurt to lose
something you never really had. ~From the television show
The Wonder Years
When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you
shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has
been your delight. ~Kahlil Gibran

Tears are the safety valve of the heart when too much
pressure is laid on it. ~Albert Smith

The cure for anything is salt water - sweat, tears, or the sea.
~Isak Dinesen
The beauty of the world has two edges, one of laughter, one
of anguish, cutting the heart asunder. ~Virginia Woolf, A
Room of One's Own, 1929
A new wound makes all the old ones ache again. ~Mignon

insides is busted. But it's not all like that. A lot of its mighty
fine, and you can't afford to waste the good part frettin'
about the bad. That makes it all bad.... Sure, I know - sayin'
it's one thing and feelin' it's another. But I'll tell you a trick
that's sometimes a big help. When you start lookin' around
for something good to take the place of the bad, as a
general rule you can find it. ~From the movie Old Yeller
God brings men into deep waters, not to drown them, but to
cleanse them. ~John Aughey
You never know what you have until you lose it, and once
you lose it, you can never get it back.
Love is like falling down... in the end you're left hurt, scarred,
and with a memory of it forever.
19
Wanting him is hard to forget, loving him is hard to regret,
losing him is hard to accept, but even with all the hurt I've
felt, letting go is the most painful yet.
We are afraid to care too much; for fear that the other
person does not care at all.
You always say you hate to see me hurt, and you hate to see
me cry. So all those times that you hurt me, did you close
your eyes?
Sad isn't it? How no matter what you do or say to me... when
you come running back... when you need me again... I'll be
here... right here waiting for you; I'll take you back... no
questions asked. Sad isn't it?
So... from now on... when you think of me... just remember
that I could've been the best thing you ever had.
20
Why did I break up with him? Well, its like, once I sat down
and looked at the situation, all the pieces lying on the floor;
it just wasn't a puzzle anymore. None of the pieces fit
together. And even if I tried really hard, the pieces, well they
were two different puzzles. That's why I did it, he needs to
understand that.
I think its time I let you go... and that is hard to do because
part of me will be in love with you for the rest of my life.
I just wonder how many people never get the one they want,
but end up with the one they're supposed to have.
21
All I'm asking for is one night together. Just you and me. All
alone. And if you can honestly say you don't feel anything for
me after that night, I will finally let you go.
Maybe they are right. Maybe I did get my hopes up too high.
Maybe I was in over my head. Maybe I am the stupid one for
ever thinking that you loved me, but maybe, just maybe, I
am tired of being alone.
Every time I see him all cool, calm and collected, I lose my
breath, my heart starts pounding, and I am painfully aware
that I am not over him and he is over me.
22
I don't know which is worse, being the one with the broken
heart or being the person that breaks the hearts.
There were reasons we met, reasons for the good times and
reasons for the bad times, and most importantly a reason to
end. We have more to learn, more to experience and more
loving to do in this lifetime.
Somehow I know we'll meet again, not quite sure where and
not sure when, your in my heart so until then good-bye.
This time it's over I'm keeping my heart, I'm gonna be strong
and not fall apart... it'll get better, I'll no longer cry... in a
couple of weeks I won't want to die, I won't want to go back.
I'll be able to sleep, it won't hurt so bad and it won't hurt so
deep!
23
I know I'm not completely over him. He still crosses my mind
several times a day, but with each one of those times, a
feeling of contempt also passes through my heart. Maybe if
this happens enough, my heart will become completely
hardened to him, and I'll get to the point where he doesn't
affect me anymore.---Beth_Lynn_14
I'm going to stay with you because you need a friend, but
thats all I'm going to be. No more sex, no more hands in
places they shouldn't be, no more giving you my heart so
you can stamp all over it.
I miss all the little things. Like him driving with his hand
resting on my knee and the way we'd share a big gooey ice
cream. But I especially miss the hot nights in those motel
rooms when he was all around me, the taste, and the scent
and the feel of him. And I'd fall asleep in his arms, with the
sound of his heartbeat being the last thing I heard before
going to sleep. I ache with longing.
24
what's coming next. It's hard to explain, but he filled some
void in me, and now, without him, I'm missing something
again. I wonder if it will ever truly, whole heartedly be filled
again. I just don't want to know what it's like to hurt any
more...
I've been lying here all night, listening to the rain. Talking to
my heart and trying to explain. Why sometimes I catch
myself wondering what might have been. Yes I do think
about you, every now and then.
I'm not afraid of heights, I'm afraid of falling. I'm not scared
of the dark; I'm scared of what's in it. I'm not afraid of love,
I'm afraid of not being loved back.
In this weird twisted way, I know you miss me liking you, not
because I want to believe it's true, but because you'll never
find a girl that can put up with you like I did; you'll never find
a girl who will care as much as I did, because no one will
waste all there love on someone like you, like I did.
I didn't ask for it to be over, but then again, I didn't ask for it
to begin. For that's the way it is with life, as some of the
most beautiful days come completely by chance. But even
the most beautiful days eventually have their sunsets.
I wish I saved all the tears I cried for you so I could fucking
drown you in them.
I tried to hold onto what we had, but you didn't even make
an effort. You lied, you cheated and left me to cry all alone
once again. And when I return looking more beautiful and
confident than ever before all I want you to realize is what
you had and what you will never have again. --- birdie565
It's amazing after all we've been through the good times and
the bad how we can walk past each other and pretend like it
never happened give each other an awkward smile and
move on.
25
Perhaps I saw what I wanted to see in him and made him to
be more than he was.
26
You didn't intentionally break my heart, you even said you
were sorry, but I cried anyway... I know the truth that you're
to scared to admit, you're with her, but when you look at me,
you can't even remember her name...
Let me ruin your life, let me break your heart, then I'll ask
you why we can't be friends. Let me rip your world into little
pieces, let me destroy who you thought you were, and then
I'll ask if we can be friends.
27
everything and leave it all behind would you be okay with
that? Because I have 5 steps till I close this door and you
have 5 seconds to make up your mind... starting now...
You really know you love someone when all you want is for
them to be happy; even if that means that you are not a part
of it.
It's not my fault if I can't help looking at you. It's not my fault
if I can't stop calling you. It's not my fault I do like you. My
only mistake was to fall too much in love with you.
I want you to know that you will never find another girl that
will put up with as much crap as I do and enjoy it. You will
never find another girl that will put up with you and love you
the way I do. Just so you know.
28
There's always that one special person that no matter what
they do to you, you just cant let them go.
How could you make me love you and then not be there to
love me back?
I sit here and think about everything that happened this past
week and not a single tear runs down my cheek. Maybe its
because I'm too hurt to cry, or maybe I'm just to mad at you.
What do you do when the only person who can stop your
tears is the one making you cry.
I'd like to think I'll be happy again, but I really need to just
stop and cry now, and sometimes I wish I could just scream
at you, and show you what you do to me.
And even though you lied, and even though you pretended
to care I can't seem to get you out of my mind and even
though it seems like I should be over you, with every tear
that falls, it reminds me of how much I am still in love with
you.
Have you ever hated somebody so much that you wish they
would just leave and never come back but yet, loved them
so much, you knew youd die if they did?
I've been through this pain before I've even cried these tears
before but to get you back, I'd go through so much more.
29
The truth of the matter is, I still have feelings for you. And no
matter how many times I tell myself that I'm better off with
out you, a part of me just won't let go.
You're the reason I live and the reason I die, you're the
reason I smile yet break down and cry, you're the reason I
keep going and the reason I fall, cause without you in my life
I'm nothing at all.
I have waited for you until now and I will wait for you for the
rest of my life. Even if that means I have to give you up for
the rest of my life, I will wait for you. I love you that much
and nothing will ever change that.
Love? It's kind of complicated, but I'll tell you this the second
you're willing to make yourself miserable to make someone
else happy, that's love right there.
You fuck me, then stub me. You love me, you hate me. You
show me a sensitive side, then you turn into a total asshole.
Is this a pretty accurate description of our relationship. (This
was just how me and my now ex boyfriend were.)
30
I am in love with the man I can't have and I have the man I
can't love.
I love you yet I hate you its like I want to throw you off a cliff
and then run really fast to the bottom and catch you. (This is
me and my friend Kevin)
It hurts to realize that the people you thought you'd love for
life don't love you as much as you thought they did and can
do without you as if they never knew you at all.
Ever notice that the people who hurt you the most are the
ones you tend to love more.
It's funny the way you can get use to the tears and the pain.
I'm glad you're happy. I can't say that I'm completely happy
for you but I guess that's just a part of life, I'll always have
31
feelings for you but the rest of the world is forcing me to
move on.
I would rather leave now still loving you then to leave later
hating you.
I want to cry, I really do, but I guess I just don't want to give
you the satisfaction of knowing that you hurt me once again.
This time its over I'm keeping my heart, I'm gonna be strong
and not fall apart it'll get better, I'll no longer crying a couple
of weeks I won't want to die, I won't want to go back. I'll be
able to sleep, it won't hurt so bad and it won't hurt so deep!
Love is when someone hurts you. And you get so mad but
you don't yell at them because you know it would hurt their
feelings.
I'd rather be your lover than your friend, but I'd rather be
your friend than your nobody.
I've convinced everyone else that I don't like you and that I
don't love you anymore. Now all I need to do is convince
myself.
32
To let go of someone doesn't mean you have to stop loving,
it only means that you allow that person to find his own
happiness without expecting him to come back.
If you think you've found that one that you really love...
make sure they love you back.
Don't hate me. Don't regret me. Don't even forget me.
Wherever you go, whatever you do, don't say I never loved
you.
I cut to prove to you that you are not the only one that can
hurt me.
To me, love is having your head tell you to slap him but all
you wanna do is look into his eyes and smile.
33
Sometimes I love you, Sometimes you make me blue,
sometimes I feel good, At times I feel used. Loving you
darling makes me so confused. --- Alicia Keys
Do you want to know what my problem is? I will tell you what
my problem is, I LOVE YOU, I love your name, I love the way
you look at me, I love your gorgeous smile, I love the way
you walk, I love your beautiful eyes, I love what you look like
when you are asleep, I love the sound of your laugh, to hear
your voice fills my entire heart with an indescribable feeling.
I love the way I can be having the worst day of my life and
seeing you completely changes my mood. I love how when
you touch me I get weak; that is my problem...
You know what? You should break up with me for her. You
should go out with anyone your heart desires because,
eventually, I know what will happen. See, you're gonna be
with all those other girls, but none of those girls are gonna
be like me. I'm different than all of them. You're going to
realize that I'm the one you're meant for and you're going to
come back to me. So sure, break up with me now, but I'm
telling you, you'll be back. You'll be back when you realize
that you broke up with the one girl who was meant to be
with you. But see, the thing is, you just better hope the girl is
still there.
I don't think I ever felt that good and that bad at the same
time in my life.
Sometimes I may hate you, but I'll always love you. -Daria
34
I have been thinking a lot about growing up, and all of the
relationships and broken hearts we go through. I always
wonder how many times I said "I love you" to someone and
knew I didnt mean it. It makes me think about all of the
people that have said they love me and didnt mean it as
well, and I get really pissed off, because I hate when people
lie. I mean, if they were lying to get in my pants, that is one
thing, but just for the sake of dragging this heart through the
mud. I dont think anyone has ever used me for my body,
and that really, really hurts. It really does. I want to be a
booty call. Isnt that what we all want out of life; to be
someones "go to" sex slave? I forgot what I was talking
about. Oh yeah, Love. Love sucks. --- Jaret
I begin to hate you for your face and not just the things you
do.
Don't stay because you think "it will get better". You'll be
mad at yourself a year later for staying when things are not
better. --- Sex in the City
Relationships are very simple. There are only two things that
can happen. You either get married or you break up.
I may hate myself in the morning But I'm gonna love you
tonight.
35
rest of you tears or a month or a year of your life when
he/she treats you badly and doesn't mind to make you cry.
Every person deserves some one who wants to brag about
them. Every person deserves some one who makes them
smile and laugh at their worst moments. We all deserve at
least that.
I'm mad at myself, not you. I'm mad for always being nice,
always apologizing for things I didn't do, for getting
attached, for making you my life, depending on you, wasting
my time on you, thinking about you, following you, changing
for you, forgiving you, wishing for you, dreaming of you, and
most of all... for not hating you which I know I should... but I
can't.
This is for the broken hearted. I know how you feel. Empty,
betrayed, and no happiness what so ever. You don't want to
laugh, because you know it's not going to help, but you don't
want to cry, because it will just make you feel worse. You
feel like your heart is falling apart, but not only that, but you
know soon your life is going to feel like it's falling apart too.
You don't think it will ever end, and no matter what this
person has done to you, it feels impossible to stop loving
them. And everyone wonders why if they have hurt you so
much, then why do you still love them. That's the confusing
part, you don't know why, you just do, and the people who
hurt you the most, and normally the ones you love the most.
And then, after a few weeks, you finally feel a sense of relief,
like you're getting happy again, but you know inside that
you're just going into denial. And after a few more weeks,
you're back to where you were an empty soul and teary
eyes. You thought you got over them, but really, you just
stopped showing it. And you can't help but to show it again.
It leaves deep scars on your heart that are there forever.
And no one understands how you feel, and how deep you are
hurt, no matter who they are, because it hasn't happened to
36
them and even if it has, every broken heart is different. They
don't know the true pain you feel and carry each and
everyday now, so you learn that basically you are alone with
all this. And the feeling starts to overwhelm you, and
suddenly you just break down, right there, because you
know you've had enough, the tears just instantly start
flowing, and you're to the point where you don't care who
see's. Because you've spent so many nights lying awake in
bed, and so many days being haunted by the scars and fear
of rejection. And in the midst of all these tears, you know
that its not helping anyone, and it's not going to bring them
back, if you ever even had them in the first place. After
about a million tears have been cried, you finally pull
yourself back together and keep going. Your throat starts to
clench and your eyes burn with the tears you are trying to
hold back. Everyone says, "It will be okay But you know it
wont. And thats the truth, it wont. And you look back on all
of the hurt you had from this, and you realize that people are
horrible. You're still hurt, but you've learned to hide it so that
everyone thinks you are okay. So now every time you see
this person, you know you still love them, and you feel a
slight tingle in your heart yearning for them to love you,
screaming out, but for some reason they don't hear it. And
then you sit back and wonder how one person could have
caused all of this...
I'm not gonna give a fuck anymore... If you hurt me, I'm
gonna hurt you. That's how it's gonna be from now on...
Life sucks a lot of the time, huh? But, ya know, if you can get
through a heartbreak, you can get through almost anything.
Why do we fall for someone, who really isn't for us? ...
Should we blame ourselves for falling for the wrong one. Or...
should we blame the one we fell for, because... they made
us believe that they are the right one for us?!
37
He's lost the one girl who thought nothing was wrong with
him.
You only love him because you fear that he just might be the
only one that will ever love you.
It's not that I still love him, because I don't, it's just that I still
worry about his stupidity.
Nothings gonna change the way I feel and you know that I'm
gonna love you still. Please dont turn your back, I cant
believe it's hard just to talk to you, but you don't understand.
Because we're not together now, and I want to be with you.
I'm sorry I can't just be friends. Am I too late, or do I have a
chance? I'm sorry... I can't just be friends.
38
I lay there at night, trying to fall asleep
But each time I close my eyes
Memories of you flash through my mind
But then I open my eyes
and welcome myself back to reality
Because I know now, you and I weren't ever
really meant to be.
I don't understand why I let myself stay with you, after all
the lies and all the tears cried. What makes you so fucking
special?
One day you'll look back and think... damn! That girl really
did love me...
39
Don't wanna do it today There's a part of me that wishes I
could just forget But I haven't found the mercy yet. I'll
forgive you tomorrow if the sun doesn't shine Let you back
into my life when the oceans are dry Take you back when
every shade of the rainbow turns gray But I just can't do it
today --- Gary Allan
Too often we don't realize what we have until it's gone... too
often we wait too long to say "I'm sorry, I was wrong"
I'm sorry that I'm not the one you wanted that I made your
life fucked up its not telling you how I feel that scares me.
Its what you'll say back that does.
Learn from your past, move on, grow stronger. People are
fake, but let your trust last longer. Do what you got to do,
but always stay true, and never let anyone get the best of
you.
I think it's time that I let you go. And it's really hard for me to
do because I know that there's a part of me that will be in

okay because she need's that now, more then ever. She's
sick of feeling like something's missing.

try to be the perfect girl and calm him when he's mad, hold
his hand to make him strong and say he's right when I know
he's wrong.
