Sometimes you have to let go of the one you love to find out if there is really something there.
Every goodbye makes the next hello closer.
How lucky I am to have known someone who was so hard to say goodbye to.
Why does it take a minute to say hello and forever to say goodbye?
You know that you are in love when the hardest thing to do is say good-bye!!
Where is the “good” in goodbye?
There are no good-byes, where ever we are, you’ll always be in my heart.
Being strong sometimes means being able to let go.
A good-bye is never painful unless you’re never going to say hello again.
Life wouldn’t be the same without you and all the memories you have givin me.
Sometimes you have to let go of the one you love to find out if there is really something there.
It’s all said and done, it’s real, and it’s been fun.
I can tell by your tears that you will remember it all.
Don’t be dismayed at good-byes. A farewell is necessary before we can meet again and meeting again, after moments or a lifetime, is certain for those who are friends.
A break up is like a broken mirror. It is better to leave it broken than hurt yourself to fix it.
No matter who broke your heart, or how long it takes to heal, you’ll never get through it without your friends.
Nothing hurts more than realizing he meant everything to you, but you meant nothing to him.
It takes a couple seconds to say Hello, but forever to say Goodbye.
Take away love and our earth is a tomb.
Relationships are like glass. Sometimes it’s better to leave them broken than try to hurt yourself putting it back together.
The heart was made to be broken.
Everyone tells me I should forget about you, you don’t deserve me. They’re right, you don’t deserve me, but I deserve you.
When you break up, your whole identity is shattered. You are no longer alive.
I don’t miss him, I miss who I thought he was.
It’s hard to tell your mind to stop loving someone when your heart still does.
I just broke up with someone and the last thing she said to me was “You’ll never find anyone like me again!” I’m thinking, “I should hope not! If I don’t want you, why would I want someone like you
Sometimes the person you really need is the one you didn’t think you wanted.

1. Make a clean break. After you’ve broken up with your boyfriend or girlfriend, don’t talk on the phone, meet for coffee, or text each other. Even if you’re thinking of getting back together, make sure you take at least three months off. This breakup advice is about finding your self-identity again – figuring out who you are apart from your relationship.
2. Avoid the temptation to get revenge. Whether your ex-girlfriend or boyfriend cheated on you, borrowed money and didn’t pay it back, or stole your dog – resist the temptation to get revenge. Getting him back only prolongs your connection, and you need to move on in order to stay happy! “The best revenge is living well,” said someone.
3. Accept that he or she wasn’t “the one.” This breakup advice is so easy to give, and so difficult to accept! It’s hard to see that you split up for a reason, and it’s likely in your best interests to accept that the relationship is over and move on.

Love is strong yet delicate.
It can be broken.
To truly love is to understand this.
To be in love is to respect this.
To love somebody
who doesn’t love you,
Is like going to a temple
And worshipping the behind
Of a wooden statue …
Of a hungry devil.
When we are in love we often
doubt that which we most believe.
The course of true love never did run smooth.
To love and win is the best thing.
To love and lose, the next best.
Love without reason lasts the longest.
May God put a spell on you… so you won’t forget me.

Whenever I cried he would always make me feel like he would change the world if he could so it couldn’t hurt me anymore. But now I’m crying and he’s not here

You can close your eyes to things you don’t want to see, but you can’t close your heart to things you don’t want to feel.

When I see you smile and know that it is not for me, that is when I will miss you the most.

When you said forever, you meant a few months. When I said forever, I meant every day until I died. When you said always, you meant until you couldn’t handle it anymore. When I said always, I meant until time ended. When you said you loved me, you meant I was no different from any other girl. When I said I loved you, I meant I had never felt what I felt for you.

was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together again and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken — and I’d rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken places as long as I lived. unknown sad love quotes

When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us. -Alexander Graham Bell
We can never turn back the pages of time, though we may wish to relive a happy moment, or say goodbye just one last time, we never can, because the sands of time continue to fall, and we can’t turn the hourglass over.
–Unknown

I know that you’ve done some changin’
And I know there’s no changin’ your mind
And yes I know
We’ve been through this a thousand times
I’m sorry for still holdin’ on
I’ll try to let go and I’ll try to be strong, and I’ll
Wish you the best
And I wish you nothing less
Than every thing you’ve ever dreamed of
And I hope that you find love along the way
But most of all
I wish you’d stay

True love doesn’t have a happy ending, because true love never ends. Letting go is one way of saying I love you.” - Anonymous
“In the end these things matter most: How well did you love? How fully did you love? How deeply did you learn to let go?” – The Buddha
“We need in love to practice only this: letting each other go. For holding on comes easily–we do not need to learn it.” – Rainer Maria Rilke
“Because of your love I have broken with my past.” – Mevlana Rumi
“Every breath is an opportunity to receive and let go. I receive love and I let go of pain.” – Brenda MacIntyre
"People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that’s bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they’re afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they’re wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It’s all in how you carry it. That’s what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you’re letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain."
"There are things that we never want to let go of, people we never want to leave behind. But keep in mind that letting go isn’t the end of the world, it’s the beginning of a new life."
"When you become good at the art of letting sufferings go, then you’ll come to realize what you were dragging around with you. And for that, no one else other than you was responsible."
I am responsible for what I see.
I can elect to change all thoughts that hurt.
I could see peace instead of THIS.
The past is over - it can touch me not.
This instant is the only time there is.
Today I will judge nothing that occurs.
I am not the victim of the world I see.
I can escape from the world I see by giving up attack thoughts.
I am determined to see things differently.
I am never upset for the reason I think.
Forgiveness is the key to happiness.
All that I give I give to myself.
