*Immature love says: "I love you because I need you." Mature love says: "I need you because I love you."-Erich Fromm*

*...I'm smiling and laughing with all my friends, then I notice you. As my smile quickly fades, I wonder if you can really tell what I'm feeling. I wonder if deep down hidden beneath my smiles you can see my broken heart. I wonder if maybe you're feeling the same way. My thoughts are answered as I watch a tear slide down you cheek, and I feel your pain. I look away for a second, hoping our love isn't completely lost, and my own eyes blur with tears. I wipe my eyes quickly and return my gaze to you...And then our eyes met once again...-Lisa Gilbert*

*The course of love never did run smooth, so now that you're gone, I tell myself that one day you'll return to me-Lisa Gilbert*

*You take the 'L' out of lover and it's over.*

*When love is lost, do not bow your head in sadness and look down upon the ground. Instead, keep your head up high and gaze into the heavens, for this is where your broken heart has been sent to heal.*

*Better by far that you should try to forget what is passed and smile-than that you should go on remembering and be sad.*

*If you love him,
Let him go,
If he comes back to you,
He's yours forever,
If he doesn't,
It was never meant to be...*

*Missing you isn't the hardest part, knowing I once had you is what breaks my heart.*

*I don't know whether to smile because he is my friend, or cry because that's all we are.*

*Until this moment, I never understood how hard it was to lose something you never had.*

*She loves him more than he will ever know, he loves her more than he will ever show*

*Why is it that you wish and cry to get over that someone special ~then when that day comes you cry because you wish you were in love with them again?

*It hurts to breathe because I know every breath I take proves I can live without you.*

*The part that sucks about love is that you DO get to choose who you love, but you DON'T get to choose who loves you back.*

*It's better to love someone you can't have then to have someone you can't love

*To ease another's heartache is to forget one's own. – Abraham Lincoln

*The memories seep through my veins, for I’m truly empty, hearts change I know they do, but part of my heart will always be with you*

*I’d trade all of my tomorrow’s for one single yesterday, just to be with you again.

*I’m sorry if I made you cry, I’m sorry if tears fell from your eyes; for that is not what I intended to do but remember for every tear that fell from your eyes two fell from mine.

*I want to be happy knowing he is happy but how can I be happy knowing I am not the one making him smile?

*I used to smile when I told people you were mine, but now I can't even smile and say your name at the same time.*

*I never really regretted telling you that I liked you, the only regret I have is never hearing what you really thought of me*

My *Once Upon A Time* didn't end *Happily Ever After*

*How can an angel break my heart?.. Why didn't he catch my falling star.. I wish I didn't wish so hard.. Maybe I wished our love apart*

*I was staring at the sky, just looking for a star, to pray on, or wish on, or something like that. I have a sweet fix of a daydream of a boy whose reality I knew, was a hopeless to be had. But then the dove of hope began its downward slope and I believed for a moment that my chances were approaching to be grabbed, but as it came down near so did a weary tear- I thought it was a bird but it was just a paper bag. I want him so bad. Oh it kills because I know I'm a mess he doesn't wanna clean up. I've got to fold because these hands are too shaky to hold. Hunger hurts but starving works, when it costs too much to love, and I went crazy again today looking for a strand to climb. Looking for a little hope. Baby said he couldn't stay. Wouldn't put his lips to mine. And a fail to kiss is a fail to cope.

*I know you're going and I can't make you stay I can only let you know I'll love you anyway...*.

*I'll always know down in my soul we really had so far to go.. I've given all I had to give.. And it's time for me live.. And I won't look back.. And I won't regret.. Though it hurts like hell...Someday I will forget.. And this is letting go.*

* Forever means forever
* And not just a couple of days
* You promised me forever
* But forever didn't stay
* You once said you loved me
* I guess that was a lie
* Don't promise me forever
* Cause forever makes me cry*

*If he makes you fall for him make sure he's there to catch you.*

* Of all the boys I have ever met, you're the one I won't forget. I know now we are just friends, but to me us two will never end. If I had one dream tonight, it would be of me and you. If I had one wish, I'd wish you loved me too*

*Love is like tug o war-you feel the pain the from burn but for some reason you can't let go*

*Don't lead me on and leave me confused...Any girl would rather be left alone than have her heart abused!*

*Loving someone that doesn't love you is like reaching for a star. You know you're never going to reach it, but you just keep trying..*

*When you feel you've found that one special person, never let them slip away, because once you lose them they may never come back and you'll have lost the greatest thing that you ever had.*

*It's so hard to say " I love you, " and not draw back in tears
*Its so hard to know that you're not there to help me face my fears
*Its so hard to know the phone's at reach, but I can not hear your voice
*Its so hard to see you laughing when I'm crying deep inside
*Its so hard to just find feelings and now have to make them hide
*Its so hard to live without you, when I need you more then words
*I want to scream how much I love you but hold back and not be heard
*Its so hard to go to sleep at night when I can not dream of you
*Its so hard to think that you might fall in love with someone new
*Its so hard to not start crying when I hear your favorite song
*Its so hard to sit and wonder, where did I go wrong?
*Its so hard to live without you if I only would have known I will never love another, I would rather be alone~

*Wanting him-hard to forget ~Loving him-hard to regret ~Losing him-hard to accept ~Even with all the hurt I've felt ~Letting go is the most painful yet.*

*I asked you to love me and you said only in your dreams, so I may pull a Juliet on my Romeo and sleep forever-*Sweet Dreams*

*After all this time you'd think that I wouldn't feel the same...But time melts into nothing and nothing's changed.*

*I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair
I hate the way you drive my car,
I hate the way you stare
I hate your big dumb combat boots, and the way you read my mind
I hate you so much it makes me cry, it even makes me rhyme
I hate it when you're always right,
I hate it when you lie
I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry
I hate it when you're not around and the fact that you didn't call (10 Things I Hate About You)
But I hate the way I don't hate you, not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all...

*..something I can't touch I always want way too much..*

*Sometimes I wish I had never met you for then I could go to sleep at night not knowing there was someone like you.*

*I guess that it's you I want to hold on to but you're holding on to someone else.*

*You're been cold to me so long I'm crying icicles instead of tears.*

*Everyday is nothing but stress to me constantly dwelling on how you got the best of me.*

*Nothing is more painful
Than realizing he
Meant everything to you
And you meant nothing to him.*

*Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
Tell me why I can't be there where you are
There's something missing in my heart*-Backstreet Boys, "Show Me The Meaning of Being Lonely"

*Surrender my heart' body and soul
How can it be you're asking me to feel the things you never show?*-Backstreet Boys "Show Me The Meaning of Being Lonely"

*You are missing in my heart
Tell me why I can't be there where you are* Backstreet Boys, "Show Me The Meaning of Being Lonely"

*I wish he meant it when he kissed me cause then I could look back and see someone who loved me but I can only go back and see someone who used me.*

*Love appears like bright lights in the night sky, and disappears in the blink of a teary eye*

*The other night while I was sleeping, I dreamt I held you in my arms. When I awoke, I was mistaken, so I held my head and cried.*

*How do u leave the past behind when it keeps finding ways to get to your heart/ it reaches way down deep and tears u inside out till you're torn apart...*

*May every star you wish upon and every hope you're hanging on come true, and if you need my everything you can take it all and more, just help me get back where we were before.*

*Enjoy every second with the 1 U love as it could be the last*

*I think I must be wishing on someone else's star because it seems someone else is always getting what I wish for*

*What if I told you I don't care
It makes not difference if your there
What if I told you I'm glad you're gone
I wished you'd leave for so long
What if I told you I never again wanted to hear your voice
See touch or hug you was my choice
That I hate you to the core, the bone
What if I told you weren't worth a tear
That you leaving never brought me fear
What if I told you that everything I just said is a lie
And every night I think of you and cry
What if I told you I want you back
That your love is what I lack
What if I told you my love is true
Just what exactly would you do?*

*Don't be the cause of someone else's tears, for next time it may be you that's crying*

*I may not get to see you as often as I'd like- I may not get to hold you all through the night- but deep inside my heart, I know that this is true- no matter what I do, I will always be in love with you*

*If love is only a word, why does it hurt so much when you find it isn't there?*

*Sometimes I think love is like tears we try to hide. Only truly apparent as it slips away.*

*I don't deserve you, I know that's true, but no matter what I'll still love you-Lisa Gilbert*
*Don't promise me forever don't promise me the sun in the sky don't pretend to know you'll never make me cry just hold me now and promise me you'll try*

*You made me fall in love with you, and then you left me like it was no big deal. It hurt and I'm upset, so don't expect me to be ok and stop loving you anytime soon.*

*you can only push someone so far
you can only break so many hearts
it used to be love one another
now its lust for your lover
baby I was trying to burn bridges of stone*
*When you kissed me, and told me you loved me, I thought you meant it...shame on me for kissing you with my eyes closed so tightly.*

*How do you teach your heart it's a crime to fall in love again? Oh you probably won't remember me, it's probably ancient history, I'm one of the chosen few who went ahead and fell for you...*

*For a few moments you made me feel as though I actually meant something to someone...*

*I understand you've moved on, trust me, I know. So just turn your head when you see me and look past my heart and my feelings, because they're not going to turn from you anytime soon.-written by me*

*When I first met you, a part of me died.... That was the part of me that didn't believe in true love, or love at first sight, or the perfect person. I know I messed up and I'll probably lose you forever, w/ u left for someone else to discover, but I won't let go without a fight...and I won't EVER forget anything about you.-Lisa Gilbert*

*If you love someone, never give them up without a fight*

*And even though you lied, and even though you pretended to care...I can't seem to get you out of my mind...and even though it seems like I should be over you, with every tear that falls, it reminds me of how much I am still in love with you...*

*I lied my face off when I said that I would be okay. It's never fine when you go away...*

*Valentine's day is only in existence to pour lemon juice on the paper cut hearts of the unattached.*

*I couldn't help it when I started to cry, I've told myself that life's a lie, ...U know love sucks when your dreams slip away. I'd trade all my tomorrows for one yesterday.*Written by Lisa Gilbert, Me

*Love is like a shark, if it doesn't keep moving, it dies*

*Watching you walk out of my life, doesn't make me bitter or cynical about love. It only 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*

*...and as a single tear falls from her cheek, she looks to him for comfort, and all he can do is look away...*

*While they dance, how she holds him, pulls him close, while he dreams of another & counts the days until he lets her go, same old story that everybody knows, one heart holding on...and the other letting go*

*You say I'm always happy, and that I'm good at what I do, but what you'll never realize is, I'm a damn good actress too*

*The worst way to miss someone is to have them standing right next to you and knowing you can't have them. *

The moment may have ended but the memories will last forever*

*You don't have to hold onto the pain to hold onto the memory*

What do you do when the only one that can stop you from crying is the exact one making you cry?*

*You hug him good-bye like it's nothing...while all you want to do is hold on forever...but you let go, smile and walk away...then cry all the way home because you know it will never be the same...because try as you might you can't make someone love you, sometimes you have to let them be free...and letting go, that is when love hurts the most of all*

"I'm gonna smile, cuz I wanna make you happy, Laugh, so you won't see my crying, I'm gonna let you go in style, and even if it kills me, I'm gonna smile." ~Lonestar
