Quotes on Loss of Relationships

This is not a goodbye, my darling, this is a thank you. Thank you for coming into my life and giving me joy, thank you for loving me and receiving my love in return.

Somewhere your prince charming is waiting for you too. ~ Think. Love. Live
Every person you ever fall in love adds their own ingredients to the love you feel. Love is different with every new partner. It may not be better or worse, just different. It's impossible to predict how these ingredients fit together until they do. If it doesn't work out with one person, all is not lost.
~Think. Love. Live.
Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life.... You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. You're not alone. ~Neil Gaiman
No matter how perfect things may have seemed, never forget how the rose glasses gleam when your heart is on fire and your mind is in love; he's not who you thought he was. ~Think. Love. Live.
Numbing the pain for a while will make it worse when you finally feel it. ~J.K. Rowling
Sadness flies away on the wings of time. ~Jean de La Fontaine
If a relationship ever feels to good to be true, it probably is. In these cases, at least one person wears a mask, lacking the courage to show their imperfections and vulnerabilities. If that person was you, learn how to be true to yourself for your next relationship; do not lose yourself in the cocktail of hormones love creates. If the mask wearer was your partner, learn to notice the red flags and don't be afraid to require open and honest communication in every relationship. ~Think. Love. Live.
If it's truly meant to be, you will find each other again someday, when the timing is right and you both have grown. It won't happen before you've forgotten him and moved on. ~ Think. Love. Live.
