Love is....................

"Love is always a good thing no matter how much it hurts. Even after it's over, even through the pain, anyone who has ever really loved will tell you that they never regretted a second of it, no matter how much it hurt in the end. And if you tell me differently, I will tell you that you were not truly in love." ~April Nizlek "I loved you, it's not that I fell out of love because that is impossible. I just couldn't handle the heartache anymore. It's not that I don't love you - it's that I can't." "In a perfect world, when he's with her, he would be wishing he was with me; when he looked at her, he would be looking at me; when he smiled at her, his smile would be for me; when he thought about someone, he would be thinking about me. In a perfect world, he would realize that she wasn't the one he was supposed to be with and I would still be standing here waiting for him still when he finally knows this. But this isn't a perfect world and people do get hurt, you smile when you feel like crying, you act like you're okay when you're falling apart inside and you let it go. You move on, because there's nothing else you can do." "Promise me you won't ever forget us, and everything we tried to be. Don't forget the laughter and the nights when we both just needed to be held. Don't forget how you felt when you said you loved me, and don't forget the looking into my eyes because I knew you meant it. Don't forget that I'll always love you, even if I don't need you the way that I used to. If I thought that you would ever forget it all... I would never leave." "I don't regret anything I did, because if things had happened differently then I wouldn't have met you, I wouldn't have fallen in love with you, and I wouldn't have gotten over you." "So I'm sorry that I can't go on with you. And tonight may be a night I'll regret, but I'm already somebody's lover. He just hasn't found me yet". "We look at each other differently, the spark is fading fast. It hurts to be without you, yet I just put on a smile and keep walking." "I'm trying to get over you, but please tell me another way, because this one isn't working." "I'm failing to want to notice that I'm gonna be okay without you." "You don't know how hard it is to get over you when every time I see you my heart begins to smile." "You made me cry, you told me lies, but I can't stand to say good-bye." "The most ironic thing of all is that I think this will be the most difficult break up I will ever go through, and we never even went out." "And so now I've finally gotten the courage to give up and let go of you. And no, I haven't moved on to another guy; I've just moved on." "You have to understand that we can't be. You've hurt me too much, but I will never hold any bitterness toward you. You were a special part of my life". "Take back that sad word good-bye. Bring back the joy to my life. Don't leave me here with these tears come and kiss this pain away. I can't forget the day you left, time is so unkind. And life is so cruel without you here beside me." ~Toni Braxton "My life is about change. I change every day. I change my mind, and sometimes even my heart. But the one thing that will never change is the way I feel for you." "I'll walk away from you now, and I'll never look back. You'll pretend to be sad, so maybe I'll come back, but when I don't, you'll live. You won't hurt, you won't cry, so don't try to make me think I'm affecting your life at all." ~Michelle Burns "I've never had feelings this strong for someone in my whole life, and probably never will. And the fact that I just have to walk away from it hurts me more than you will ever know." "I told you I'd never say good-bye, now I'm slipping on the tears you made me cry. Why does it come as a surprise? To think I was so naive. Maybe it didn't mean so much to you, but it meant everything to me." ~Nine Inch Nails "Somehow, the conversation mentioned your name, and someone asked if I knew you. Looking away, I thought of all the times we had together, sharing laughter, tears, jokes, and tons more, and then with out an explanation you were gone. I looked to where they were waiting for an answer, and then said softly 'once... I thought I did.'" "As I watched you walk away, I watched every dream I had never dreamed, I saw every wish that was yet to come true, I felt every ounce of love in my heart, I knew it all when I saw you walk away... but I know you knew it too, because you took all of me with you." "You are my everything... the reason I wake up in the morning. Just the thought of you brings a smile to my face that can last for days. The sound of your voice brings chills throughout my body. You make me the happiest that I have ever been. And to you I am only a friend." "Watching you walk out of my life does not make me bitter or cynical about love, but rather makes me realize that if I wanted so much to be with the wrong person, how beautiful it will be when the right one comes along." "You wanna know why you can't be serious with me? Because being serious with me would be admitting to yourself, me and everyone else that you can really like me more than a friend." ~Allison Mosher "How can you simply be friends with someone when every time you look at them, you're thinking about how much more you really want?" ~Dawson's Creek "It's not that I don't know, it's just that you wouldn't understand if I told you." "When we lose one we love, our bitterest tears are called forth by the memory of hours when we loved not enough." ~Maurice Maeterlinck "She puts you through hell, yet you always run back to her. When will you realize she's not the one for you?" "I love you, okay? Is that so bad? I love you and she doesn't- she never did. Yet, you love her and not me. What's wrong with this picture?" ~Melissa Rokyta "I can't understand how you can throw what we had away. You said it meant something to you, but I guess I always was a little naive." ~Melissa Rokyta "Jealousy is a funny thing. I never considered myself a jealous person but you're bringing out traits in myself I never knew. The way she has you -that makes me jealous. The way you hug her -that makes me jealous. The way you love and kiss her -that makes me jealous." "Sometimes I wake up crying at night and sometimes I scream out your name. What right does she have to steal your heart away when for so long you were mine? I remember when you were mine." ~ "You know that we have something special. I saw it in your eyes last night when I told you how much you had hurt me. I saw all our memories flash through your mind. I saw how much it hurt you to know you hurt me. I saw how much you love me; you didn't need to say a word." ~Melissa Rokyta "I'd much rather be your lover than your friend, but I'd much rather be your friend than your nobody." ~Unknown "Sometimes the tears just flow so endlessly from my eyes, and you are the only one who could stop them." ~Ines Lopes "Why is that sometimes when I see you, it makes my whole day better, but other times when I see you it brings tears to my eyes?" ~Ines Lopes "Maybe I was just a stepping stone for you to get to that point in your life where you'd figure out what you wanted, or didn't want. So to prove to you that I love you and all I want is for you to be happy, I'll walk away." "As long as you're happy, I'll deal with the consequences." ~Megan Dillion "I hate it every time you leave me, but I love the part when you turn around and smile on your way out the door." "It hurts to see all these couples everywhere. Holding hands, kissing or even just looking at each other with this burning light in their eyes. It's so wonderful, but makes me so jealous at the same time, because all the things they have I want with you." ~Ines Lopes "I'm especially reminded that we should be together when we're walking down the hall and people smile at us with this look of 'Awww' in their eyes - but they don't know." ~Ines Lopes "All we could do was close our eyes, and wish that the slow song would never end." ~The Wonder Years "Giving someone all your love is not an assurance that they'll love you back." "I need someone to ease my mind, but sometimes a someone is hard to find." ~Smashing Pumpkins "Love hurts when you know you've hurt the person that means the world to you". "I want you to know that I don't regret a single moment I spent on you." "I don't know what it is really, but sometimes it takes everything in me to not reach out and run my fingers through your hair or turn around and hug you when you are least expecting it." "Late at night, talking to you until early one morning, I can tell you things I tell no one else, with the comfort of the dark. I love the way you whisper, and the way you laugh. I'll just hope for you until you want to be mine." "The hardest thing I'll ever do is walk away still loving you." "The heart that can no longer love passionately must with fury hate." ~Jean Racine "There's no love like a lost love, and no pain like a broken heart." ~Ben Harper "Hearts will never be made practical until they are made unbreakable." ~Wizard of Oz "I always said I'd never cry over you, but it's hard to hold back tears when your fears come true." ~ "To continue loving somebody even though there's no chance of that love ever thriving - that's romance." "I am always trying to make you happy, but why does it hurt so much when someone else does?" "I know as long as you are happy I can get through this, but it still kills me to see you with her. Not because she is perfect for you, not because she makes you smile, not because she is what you need, but because I know that she deserves you more than I do, and that pain is indescribable." ~Kate Russell "I don't understand how you can be so heartless, considering that you have mine." "It hurts to know that you don't love me and you never did, but it hurts even more knowing that I have to be the one to stop coming back. I can't be around you if all it does is cause me pain, and I know you don't have that pain, which makes mine even worse." "You're in love. That's the way it should be, because I want you to be happy. You're in love and I know that you're not in love with me." ~Wilson Philips "Finally, I see that my happiness doesn't mean having you. My happiness comes from your happiness. And if you can be happy without me, then I can be happy without you. "There's no way to explain, but all the pleasure is worth all the pain." ~LeAnn Rimes "The roads of life are strewn with the wreckage of run-down, half-finished loves." ~Ralph W. Sockman "One who loves more is speechless when the one they love leaves them, rather than begging please." "It hurts to see you walk away. For admit it or not, you were an important part of my life and the time we shared will forever be a part of me. So even though I realize that it was never meant to be, still, it hurts." "When these days are gone, when all the love we gave to each other slowly fades away, when your beautiful smile is only here as a dream, and when the words 'I love you' are scripts of the past, I will always have the memories that were once moments, and I will always know that no matter what, I got the chance to be loved by you." ~ "My mind tells me to give up on love, but my heart won't let me." "If I told you tonight that I loved you, would you walk my way? Would you say lies that I wanted to hear if I told you tonight that I need you? Would you break my heart? Would you start wearing me down again?" "If I told you tonight I was leaving, would you call my name, take the blame, turn it all around again cause you know I love you and it's worth the heart ache?" "I sometimes wish I could be like you, being able to get so close to people who you really have no intention of being close to. Letting people get so close to you, only to push them away. But then I remember I could never be like you, I have a heart." "Everyday I wish I had you, but I thank God that at least you're my friend "It's not because I ever loved him or because he loved me. It's because it was my first romance, my first imagination of love." "Sometimes I want someone to just hold me when I need it. Not a hug, but just hold me, you know? I need someone to actually love me for once in my life." "Everyone has at least five dreams every night. That's thirty billion dreams. One of them has got to be about me."
