Nothing hurts more than being disappointed by the one person who you thought would never hurt you.

A breakup would imply she was my girlfriend. She was a girl who was my friend who is now a girl who is not my friend.

A relationship, I think, is like a shark. It has to constantly move forward, or it dies. And I think what we got on our hands is a dead shark.

The best way to mend a broken heart is time and girlfriends.

Mighty are they before their fall, Once fallen rattled are their thought, As a broken heart needs time to mend.

When you are heartbroken, it can be exhausting feeling so sad. You are either crying, trying not to cry, or drained from all the crying yesterday.

Let’s face it, when you are heartbroken, you do not make the best decisions, and the decisions you make now will affect the rest of your healing journey.

All in all, I learned a lesson from it, though. You never see it coming. You just get to see it go.

I thought I was your destination. Looks like I was just another stop on the line.

There’s moments where I want to break down and cry, but not give up.

I think you still love me, but we can’t escape the fact that I’m not enough for you.

What we learn is worth more than what we lose.

To me, our love was everything, and you were my whole life. It is not very pleasant to realize that to you, it was only an episode.

I’ve learned that just because I don’t know how to break up with someone, doesn’t mean they were worth keeping.

I will not try to convince you to love me, to respect me, to commit to me. I deserve better than that; I AM BETTER THAN THAT…Goodbye.

Any woman has the power to be truly happy, with or without a man.

I have fooled life, and life has fooled me. We are quits. I say good-bye.

And I hope above all you give your heart to someone again no matter how many broken promises you have received.

You wanted to see the world. And yet, all I want is to see you.

If someone breaks up, it’s an opportunity to revamp yourself; this time better and stronger than before.

You’ll get through this. And I know it’s impossible to believe right now, but it gets better. Trust me.

It is some relief to weep; grief is satisfied and carried off by tears.

It took a while for her to figure out she could run, but when she did, she was long gone, Long gone.

I tried to keep us together; you were busy keeping secrets.

I can speak for most songwriters – those breakup love songs are so easy to write, as far as the inspiration and all that.

I went through my first big breakup with a boyfriend who I had been with for more than two years. He had been one of my dancers, and it was my first love and his.

My ex send late night text cause she don’t know to let go.

He who never puts his trust in any man will never be deceived.

When you feel in love with an ex, it isn’t that you still love him, but that you are simply stuck in the idea of what YOU did wrong.

The soul would have no rainbow had the eyes no tears.

Doctoring her seemed to her as absurd as putting together the pieces of a broken vase. Her heart was broken. Why would they try to cure her with pills and powders?

It’s afterward you realize that the feeling of happiness you had with a man didn’t necessarily prove that you loved him.

I’m not crying because of you; you’re not worth it. I’m crying because my delusion of who you were was shattered by the truth of who you are.

And I shall find some girl perhaps, and a better one than you. With eyes as wise, but kindlier, and lips as soft, but true, and I daresay she will do.

Sometimes, I don’t know what haunts me more. The memories of you… Or the happy person I used to be.

You don’t need closure. You just need to give yourself permission to move on.

Will cause so much sadness and pain, / Thank you for your understanding. / Things just can’t be continued between us; / But our friendship will remain if you will ask.

When you leave weary of me without a word, I shall gently let you go.

I think it’s time to take a risk / by ending now and starting new. / You’ll always be a part of me on the inside / and I’ll always have our memories to share.

It’s difficult for me to imagine the rest of my life without you. But I suppose I don’t have to imagine it… I just have to live it.

The only way to survive a breakup is to move on and get over it.

It is not the end of the world, and it is not the end of you. It is simply the end of a particular chapter in your life.

I have seen the breakups between people who love each other and rush into getting married too quickly, and I do not want to make that mistake.

Two separate, distinct personalities, not separate at all, but inextricably bound, soul and body, and mind, to each other; how did we get so far apart so fast?

Mad ’cause he ain’t like me… Oh, you mad cause nobody ever did it like me.

Sobering up was responsible for breaking up my marriage. That’s what it couldn’t stand.

If you say, I love you, then you have already fallen in love with language, which is already a form of break up and infidelity.

New clothes are a great way to deal after a breakup. A good mix CD also helps you get through it and… you know, 72 hours of ice cream.

There are very few people who are not ashamed of having been in love when they no longer love each other.

Comfort me with apples, for I am sick of love.

It takes bravery to end a relationship.

Some people will leave you soon no matter how, but it’s not the ending of your story; it’s just the ending of their role in your story. ‘Cause life goes on, and you should just expect damage from others.

Death ends a life, not a relationship.

Celebrate endings – for they precede new beginnings.

If love breaks more than a heart, maybe it’s a sign and time to step out.

The loss of love is not nearly as painful as our resistance to accepting it is.

If a relationship is to evolve, it must go through a series of endings.

To meet, to know, to love and then to part, is the sad tale of many a heart.

One of the most unfortunate realities of heartbreak is that our ‘natural’ responses often do us more harm than good.

Think about any attachments that are depleting your emotional reserves. Consider letting them go.

So often the end of a love affair is death by a thousand cuts, so often its survival is life by a thousand stitches.

In any relationship in which two people become one, the end result is two half people.

New beginnings are often disguised as painful endings.

Starting over can be challenging, but also it can be a great opportunity to do things differently.

Pain will leave you when you let go.

Though nobody can go back and make a new beginning, anyone can start over and make a new ending.

Take a deep breath, pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again.

Holding on is believing that there’s a past; letting go is knowing that there’s a future.

It’s painful, and it’s messy. But sometimes you just have to make the break and start again.

It’s good to start over. It will be scary, but you will see what you’re really made of; it’s the best opportunity to achieve what you never thought you could.

You are allowed to let go of all those that do not set you free anymore.

When you can no longer think of a reason to continue, you must think of a reason to start over.

Breakup is hard enough to live with; why do we need the paperwork of divorce.

Dating is the best inward and outward sign that you’ve moved on after a big break.

When building a friendship bridge, don’t forget to construct a disruptive path.

Sometimes you have to deprive someone of the pleasure of being with you so that they can realize how much they need you in their lives…

When a dreamer loses his lover, his dream profits. (Unless, of course, the lover was the dreamer’s dream.)

Whenever it rains, I remember him, not as a tear that hails down as a raindrop, but as a God of fertility. As, every time I remember him, his memories conceive a baby of emotions in me!

Of course, she wants him to forget her. The last place she wants to reside is in his thoughts. What an unpleasant place to be.

You may eventually decide to break up, and that’s fine because headaches are not cute, but at least you know you tried.

If he’s hitting you now, stop contemplating leaving him, and just leave.

We’re both whisper-screaming at each other. All I can think is this is the worst possible way to break up with somebody.

But thinking never took away tears. Only time did.

Love doesn’t go away just because you realize you can’t be with someone

You search for a new partner, the faster you will get over your break-up blues…. Love is nothing more than an illusion.

Tough break-up? Trash stinks, which is why you toss it.

I rein myself in. I’m already breaking up with the guy. I don’t have to ruin his favorite movie.

To lose a worthless friend is worthy of a testimony.

There is no compromise when it comes to someone’s delicate feelings. The only way out is to stop pretending and set yourself free from someone’s life.

Even if we fall apart, even if we don’t stay together, even if we Die, there is this beauty about Love that keeps us alive in each others’ heart, acting as a catalyst for beating the heart.

It’s never over till it’s really over in your mind…

In some cases, it is the woman’s stomach—not her heart—that has left her man for another.

You can turn your heartbreak into hope, your obstacles into opportunities, your pain into passionate purpose.

The heart is where your decisions should come from, but how can you rely on a broken heart? If the game piece is broken, the game stops, and so does your enthusiasm and lust to be alive.

No one will ever be prepared for the pain of a broken heart.

Friend, you may have stumbled, but you haven’t fallen.

Take some time to think about how you can turn your heartbreak into something beautiful.

If you stay with your broken heart, it will surely lead you down the path to wisdom.

Having a broken heart changes you. Healing a broken heart changes you more.

I may be heartbroken, but my spirit was still intact.

As times and tides change, the heartbroken guilt grows cold, and the once seething rage becomes frozen stiff. On what to blame the bubbling tears and fears…

A mother’s touch can calm even the most violent of life’s storms. A mother’s touch can fix a broken heart…by softly saying no matter who walked out…she never will.

One day, he’ll wake up and realize how great you were. And you’ll wake up with someone who already knew. Don’t mistake a chapter of your life for the whole story. To say hello to the right person, you have to say goodbye to the wrong one.

It’s like a death when you lose a love that deep, like it feels like a death.

The toughest part of letting go is realizing the other person already did.

Make a list on what you are gaining, what you are losing, what they are subtracting from your life.

Whatever you do, never run back to what broke you.

All that I know is I don’t know how to be something you miss.

It ain’t no need to cry, I took a vow that from now on, I’m gon’ be my own best friend.

I cannot play myself again/I should just be my own best friend.

It would be a privilege to have my heart broken by you.

I’d rather love a million times and have my heart broken every time than hold a permanently empty heart forever.

I will not allow myself to not feel chosen every single day. And I’ll wait till whenever that is.

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 person comes along.

You cannot convince people to love you. This is an absolute rule. No one will ever give you love because you want him or her to give it. Real love moves freely in both directions. Don’t waste your time on anything else.
