I’m feeling a bit depressed and lonely. Pissed off at the world. Envious of you and your perfect little family but not particularly envious of your husband for having to live with you.’ and then I’ll tell her about how I started a new job and met lots of new people and how I’m trying hard to pick myself up but that I’m now at a loss about what else to do. Then I’ll tell her how it pisses me off when everyone says time is a healer when at the same time they also say absence makes the heart grow fonder, which really confuses me because that means that the longer he’s gone the more I want him. I’ll tell her that nothing is healing at all and that every morning I wake up in my empty bed it feels like salt is being rubbed into those unhealing wounds.’ Holly took a deep breath. ‘and then I’ll tell her about how much I miss my husband and about how worthless my life seems without him. How uninterested I am in getting on with things without him, and I’ll explain how I feel like I’m just waiting for my world to end so that I can join him. She’ll probably just say, ‘oh that’s good,’ like she always does, kiss her husband goodbye, hop into her car, and drop her kids at school, go to work, make the dinner and eat the dinner, and go to bed with her husband and she’ll have it all done while I’m still trying to decide what color shirt to wear to work. What do you think?’” - PS, I LOVE YOU by Cecilia Ahern

“So I stoically waited, desperately clinging to the notion that ours was only a trial separation.  And, incredibly enough, my feelings became even more intense post-breakup.  If I was obsessed with Leo when I was with him, I was drowning in him afterward.  He occupied every minute of my day as I became a cliché of the broken-hearted woman.” - Love the One You’re With by Emily Giffin

“Just when I wanna move on, that certain someone gets me right where he wants me, and I’m right back where I started.”

“You’ll get over it…it’s the cliches that cause the trouble. To lose someone you love is to alter your life forever. You don’t get over it, because ‘it’ is the person you loved. The pain stops, there are new people, but the gap never closes. How could it? The articulateness of someone who mattered enough to grieve over is not made anodyne by death.

So now there’s this hole that only he can fill. The thing is I know he’ll never, ever fill it. Because now he’s off with some other girl and he forgot the way back into my heart.

 ”I’m still not ready to move on. It’s sort of like what you were saying how on the one hand, expectations can inspire you, but, then again, they can really let you down. I’m not ready to be let down quite yet. But I still have hope, that one day, I’ll take a chance again, in the horrible face of expectation. And it’ll be worth it.

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.” – Straight Talking by Jane Green
