*My grandma told me once of the perfect man...and since nobody's perfect, I learned he exists only in your dreams.*-Lisa Gilbert

*A sad thing about life is when you meet someone that means a lot to you, only to find out in the end, that it wasn't bound to be and you just have to let go.*

*Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back, don't expect love in return, just wait for it to grow in their heart, but if it doesn't, be glad it grew in yours.*

*There are things you would love to hear but you will never hear it from the person from whom you would like to hear it, but don't be deaf to hear it from the person who says it with heart.*

*Never say goodbye when you still want to try, never give up when you still feel you can take it, never say you don't love that person anymore when you can't let go.*

*There are moments in life when you really miss someone so much that you want to pick them up from your dreams and hug them for real.*

*One day I will be able to look you in the eye without feeling the pain I've caused. One day I will be able to stand next to you without wanting to hold your hand. One day I'll get over you. I'm sorry that day hasn't come yet.*

*No man is worth your tears and the one that is won't make you cry.*

*Don't be reckless with other people's hearts, and don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.*

*The hardest thing in life is to watch the one you love love someone else.*

*Never say I love you if you don't really care. Never talk about feelings if they aren't really there. Never hold my hand if you are going to break my heart. Never say you are going to if you don't plan to start. Never look into my eyes if all you do is lie. Never say hello if you really mean goodbye. If you really mean forever then say you will try. Never say forever cause forever is forever.*

*Some people are just not meant to be in your life no matter how much you want them to be.*

*Everyone agrees, when happiness is free, love can guarantee you'll come back to me. That's when. -Shania Twain "When"*

*Why do they call it a crush? Because that's how you feel when they don't feel the same way in return.*

*I know when you leave, distance will keep us apart. But distance, no matter how far, can't change these feelings in my heart.*

*I dropped a tear in the ocean for you. The day you find it is the day I stop loving you.*

*Once in a while, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale.*

*Sometimes I can't even breathe without thinking of you first.*

*I got one thing on my mind all the time...and it's driving me insane, cuz I miss you like crazy every minute of the day!

*In my case...his absence made my heart grow fonder...but made his heart grow distant and weak. ~Me, Lisa Gilbert

*Sad what we go through just for the chance to be loved...even sadder what we go through when we don't get that chance after wishing and hoping for it for so long. ~Me, Lisa Gilbert

*I liked you because you could make me smile. I fell in love with you because you made me want to be a better person. Now that you're leaving me, what am I supposed to do?- Lisa Gilbert

*I loved you so much before I had my first chance with you. Then you gave me that chance of my lifetime. It was only for a short time, such a short time. Then as my life became filled with happiness and joy, you left me, without explanation. for days I questioned why, for many nights I cried. I promised myself I wouldn't hate you or regret meeting you. But how could I anyway? You made me want to be a better person, you made me smile when I thought I couldn't, you turned my life around...and for this reason I know I'll love you forever.-Lisa Gilbert*

*Why is it that we torture ourselves with love? We hope and wish for that special someone for so long, and it hurts so much to see them love someone else. When we finally get the person of our dreams, they leave sooner or later, gone from your life like a feather floating away in the wind, never to be seen again. We cry endlessly for many nights, remembering their smiles, their kind words, their warm embrace. You can't help but feel joy when you think of their sweet kisses or that special feeling you get whenever you see them. You dream of them and wake up smiling, until you realize it was only a dream and the closest thing you have to that person are the memories and times you shared, that made it all worthwhile. I guess that's why we torture ourselves with love.-Lisa Gilbert*

*Now I can see that we're falling apart, from the way that it used to be. No matter the distance, I want you to know, that deep down inside of me, you are my fire, my one desire.-Backstreet Boys, "I Want It That Way"*

*The course of true love never did run smooth.-William Shakespeare*

*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

*And right there for a moment, I forgot that you don't love me anymore." Tim McGraw

*Someday the one you gave away will be the only one you're wishing for.*

*Goodbye's make you think, they make you realize what you've had and what you lost, and what you've taken for granted*

*Forget the times he walked by, forget the times he made you cry, forget the times he spoke your name, remember now you're not the same, forget the times he held your hand, forget the sweet things if you can, forget the times and don't pretend, remember now he's just your friend*

*Mr. Right's coming. But he's in Africa... and he's walking.*

*I see him but he sees past me. I look in his eyes but he looks around me. Does he know what I see when he stares through me? I see him and I can't help watching him not watching me*

*a simple to live by to keep up girls on track, never love a playa cuz he'll never love you back*

*I Will Put A Wall Around My Heart, And Won't Let Anyone In, Cause My Heart Will Wait Forever To Be With You Again*

*He's my angel, too bad he is as far away as Heaven.*

*Have you ever hated somebody so much that you wish they would just leave and never come back...but yet, loved them so much, you knew you'd die if they did?*

You don’t know what love is till you lose it.
You don’t know what you’ve got till it slips away.
Leaves you alone in the dark and takes you and tears you apart.
You don’t know what love is till it breaks your heart.
Till it breaks your heart.
--------------------------------------------
Love has no season, no beginning nor end.
No rhyme or reason, to the way the story ends.
No way of knowing how a broken heart mends.
Still we keep fallin’, time and time again.
-you don't know what love is, Jessica Simpson-

*At night when I fall fast asleep, I dream of a dream that I can't keep. Because no matter how much I wish it were true, destiny will not let me be with you*Lisa Gilbert

*I never thought you'd hurt me, I guess you live and learn, that when you're playing with fire, you're bound to get burned*

*Why does a rose, the most prized flower, the beautiful flower have to die? The beauty goes to waste, gone forever back into the soil. It goes back into the soil so a new young flower can grow and be admired and given to show love...Then when it dies it will repeat the cycle all over*

*Love is like snow no matter how hard u want it to stay it will eventually melt *

*Don't cry for what might have been, He said it already, This is the end. There's no going back. He told you he's already found another. Please don't let that tear fall from your eye. No man is worth your tears and the one who is won't make you cry...*

*I don't want another pretender to disillusion me one more time, whispering words of forever, telling just one more sweet lie, and forever playing with my mind*

*How could something that seemed so right turn out to be so wrong?*

*Your Mom always said that you would find the perfect guy, but did she ever tell you how to forget him?

*From the moment I saw you I wanted you
From the moment she saw you, she did too
I didn't get my wish
I lost the fight to the finish*-Lisa Gilbert

*Of all the words, tongue and pen, the saddest are, 'it could have been.*

*If you find yourself falling, don't fall too fast,
you might end up with a love that won't last, so
listen to my words and take my advice: If you find
yourself falling, you better think twice.*

*I would choose to be with you, if the the choice were mine to make, but you can make decisions too, and you've decided you wanted this heart to break.*

*I'm not supposed to love you, I'm not supposed to care, I'm not supposed to live my life wishing you were there. I'm not supposed to wonder where you are or what you do, and I'm not supposed to say this, but I'm still in love with you*

*If love is like heaven then why does it hurt like hell?*

*Do not assume that she who seeks to comfort you now, lives untroubled among the simple and quiet words that sometimes do you good. Her life may also have much sadness and difficulty, that remains far beyond yours. Were it otherwise, she would never have been able to find these words.*
- Rainer Maria Rilke

*One day you’ll love me as I have loved you. One day you’ll think of me as I thought of you. One day you’ll cry for me as I cried for you. One day you’ll want me and I won’t want you.*

*We attach ourselves so strongly to people, and when they're gone, a part of us is gone, too.*

they turn to dust before your eyes*

*Why do we hurt the people we love, and at the same time, why do we love the people who hurt us?*

*If you love someone you'll want them to be happy.....even if their happiness means you're not a part of it!*

*I'll never forget the times we once shared, and I'll never forget how much you once cared, now it's over and I have one more thing to say, if I had a four leaf clover I'd wish for one more day.*

*This is our last goodbye...it's over, just hear this and then I'll go; you gave me more to live for then you'll ever know.*

*How come you have enough time to go out and make other girls fall in love with you, but you don't have enough time to pay attention to the girl who already does.*

*A million words would not bring you back, I know because I've tried. Neither would a million tears, I know because I've cried.*

*Falling for someone the first time is easy...it's the second time around, after you have fallen and trusted someone to catch you and they didn't...when it becomes difficult to let yourself fall again.*

*How long must I cry? How long must I try? And how long will it be, until you come back to me? *

*Sometimes I look at you, and I wonder...do you ever sit here and look at me too?*o

*I will hide my broken heart beneath a laughing face. And though you'll think I never cared , no one else can take your place.*

*I miss you a little, I guess you could say...a little too much, a little too often, a little more everyday.*

*And so now you know the way it feels to cry,
the way that I cried when you broke my world in two, baby I learned the way to break a heart, I learned from the best. I learned from you*

*As I stared into your eyes, you asked me why I was about to cry, its because I knew you were going to say good-bye.*

*I don't understand why God would let us meet, if there was no way we could ever be together.*

*The magic of our first love was the ignorance that it would never end.*

I may be scaring off the best person I've ever met
He can't leave, no, not yet*-Lisa Gilbert

*Once my lover, now my friend, what a cruel thing to pretend. ~Fiona Apple*

Sticks and stones may break my bones and tear my skin apart. But no one hurt me more than you because you broke my heart.

*No smile is more beautiful as the one that struggles with tears*

*Girls play at sex to get love and guys play at love to get sex. *

*All though you may not love me, All though you may not care, But if you ever need me, You know I'll always be there, Your heart may not be broken, Your heart may not be free, But if you ever need someone, You can always count on me*

*You spend all your time preaching about love.. Well here it is, right in front of you & you're gonna turn your back on it. & You're going to go through your whole life knowing you turned your back on it & that makes you a hypocrite~*--Sebastian-*- Cruel Intentions*

*They say there is a reason, they say that time will heal, but neither time nor reason can change the way I feel. No one knows the heartache that hides behind my smile, No one knows how many times I've broken down and cried. I want to tell you something so there won't be any doubt...You're so wonderful to think of but so hard to live without.*

*Letting go doesn't mean giving up but accepting that there are things that cannot be*

*I'd like to stay a secret, like walking in the dark. If no one knows you, no one cares, so no one breaks your heart.*

*It's really painful to say goodbye to someone else that you don't want to let go; but it's even more painful to ask someone to stay if you can never make the relationship work out the way it should be.*

*The memory of our first love never fades away...*

*The memory of our first love never fades away...*
