Quotes About Lost Love
21. “Depression isn’t always crying your mascara off in the shower and playing sad songs in bed. Sometimes it’s not wanting to talk to anyone for days and other times it’s desperately needing to be around people. Sometimes depression is having no appetite even though you haven’t eaten anything since yesterday and sometimes it’s eating everything you have in the fridge. Depression isn’t your boyfriend holding you and telling you that it’s going to be okay. It’s sitting across the table, not eating, having him ask you what’s wrong, and knowing that you’re ruining his night because you can’t seem to snap out of it and just be happy. It’s the frustrating feeling of desperately wanting to enjoy something and just fucking be normal for once. It’s keeping things a secret from the people you love because you don’t want them to look at you like you’re broken. No, depression isn’t beautiful black-and-white images. Depression is lonely and frustrating and mostly just fucking exhausting.”—midnight thoughts (Depression isn’t trendy)”

Dealing with the tragedy of heartbreak is not easy at all. Even if you are mentally strong, you will still go through a difficult phase in your life after heartbreak. Heartbreak makes you feel unworthy and dead inside. As you drown in despair, you need to find a way to express the emptiness you feel inside. Expressing your broken self is not easy. But our messages will help you express your grief.
You meant the world to me, and now that I’ve lost you, I feel empty. Losing you was the worst thing that ever happened to me.
In my head, we’re still together. In my imagination, I can still touch your skin. In my dreams, I still get visions of you. In truth, I’m lost without you.
You Taught Me How To Love; You Taught Me How To Live; You Taught Me How To Laugh; You Taught Me How To Cry, But When You Left, You Forgot To Teach Me How To Forget You.
I’m proud of my heart. It’s been played, stabbed, cheated, burned, and broken but somehow still works.
Thanks for giving me the best time of my life. I will only remember our good times together and will try to live happily. I pray for your happiness too.
My eyes are hurting cause I can’t see you, My arms are empty cause I can’t hold you, My lips are cold cause I can’t kiss you, My heart is broken and I miss you!
I wish you the best in life, knowing that you will one day understand the value of being close to others and the agony of being apart. Nothing can ever take your place in my heart. Goodbye.
I used to think the worst thing in life was ending up alone. It’s not. The worst thing in life is ending up with people who make you feel all alone.

People always think the most painful thing is to lose the one you love. In truth, the most painful thing is to lose YOURSELF and not even realize it until it’s too late.
Some days are just bad days, that’s all. You have to experience sadness to know happiness, and I remind myself that not every day is going to be a good day, that’s just the way it is!
Sometimes giving someone a second chance is like giving them another bullet for their gun because they missed you the first time.
I don’t understand why destiny allowed some people to meet… when there’s no way for them to be together… :'(
