But you can’t close your heart to things you don’t want to feel.

but I can’t because I know you won’t come after me
And that’s what hurts the most.

and you can still love them with all the little pieces.
It takes a minute to like someone,
An hour to love someone,
but to forget someone takes a lifetime.
Love never dies a natural death.
It dies because we don’t know how to replenish its source.
It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals.
It dies of illness and wounds;
It dies of weariness, of withering, of tarnishing.

The tears you have caused me, I can only sit and weep.
All I wanted was someone who I could love and keep.

Sometimes we waste too much time to think about someone
That doesn’t think about us for a second.
Sometimes it’s better to push someone away.
Not because you stopped loving them,
but because you have to shield yourself from the pain.
Sometimes there is no next time,
No time-outs, no second chances;
sometimes it’s now or never.
Don’t cry because he left.
Smile because he gave you an opportunity to find someone BETTER.

When I do something great,
No one ever seems to remember,
But when I do something wrong,
No one can ever seem to forget.
Not all scars show, not all wounds heal.
Sometimes you can’t always see,
the pain someone feels.
For all sad words of tongue and pen,
The saddest are these,
“It might have been.”

Trying to forget someone
you love is like trying to remember
someone you never met.
The worst thing a guy can do
is let a girl fall in love when
he doesn’t intend to catch her fall.

If I hadn’t liked you, I wouldn’t love you.
If I wouldn’t love you, I wouldn’t miss you.
But I did, I do and I will.
The essential sadness is to go through life without loving.
But it would be almost equally sad to leave this world
without ever telling those you loved that you love them.

Is the one that lasts the longest,
Hurts the deepest
And feels the strongest – Anonymous

To see all things, but not my love to see.

Sad Break up Quotes
The saddest thing in the world is loving someone who used to love you.
A million words would not bring you back,
I know because I tried, neither would a million tears,
I know because I cried.
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.
Sometimes you don’t realize how much you care for someone
until they stop caring for you.
Someone can walk into your life and it is not until after they walk out
that you realize that they were even there.
I hate to see the one I love happy with somebody,
but I surely hate it more to see the one I love unhappy with me….
Moving on is simple.
It’s what you leave behind that makes it so difficult.
When you are in love and you get hurt, it’s like a cut…
It will heal, but there will always be a scar.
A break up is like a broken mirror.
It is better to leave it broken than to hurt yourself trying to put it back together.
